Thanks Alexandre.

Do you know why and when db support was removed? Did it work well, but no interest from current developers? 
If someone was so inclined, would it be difficult to add db support back? (I didn't see anything obvious 
briefly looking at the source, but perhaps I didn't know what to look for).

I have been considering GanttProject, but I like how Planner works and that Planner is C/GTK+ (and also, 
GanttProject has *never* had db support).
