I'm pleased to annouce that the first beta version of
libgda/libgnomedb (version 3.1.1) have been released, which is the
first version of the unstable 3.1.x series.
libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing database-oriented
applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase,
SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS SQL server, as well as
MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.
libgda/libgnomedb are part of the GNOME Office application suite, providing
database access for many features in both Gnumeric and Abiword.
Changes from version 3.0.x include:
