RFC SLAG-001

[Roger Oberholtzer]

There are many ways to abstract the data source. From C, how about
libgda? I have not used it, but I have crossed paths with it a few
times. The web page implies it deals with gnome databases. While that is
true, that is not all (it seems),

>From the readme:

GNU Data Access (GDA) is an attempt to provide uniform access to
different kinds of data sources (databases, information servers, mail
spools, etc.). It is a complete architecture that provides all you need
to access your data. It is defined by a set of CORBA interfaces as
generic as possible (but very powerful at the same time) so that any
kind of data source can be accessed through them. 

libgda was part of the GNOME-DB project
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-db),
but has been separated from it to allow non-GNOME applications to be
developed based on it.


There is also http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/, which seems to do
something similiar.
