Here is version 4.2.4, a maintenance release, of the Libgda library.
It can be dowloaded from the usual location:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libgda/4.2/
What is Libgda?
----------------------
Libgda is a (relatively small) database access library:
* a wrapper like ODBC but with more features to access several database
engines
* a general data model to use CVS or XML files
* a meta data extractor (to know all about database objects in a comman way=
)
* features several tools: an SQL console application (like mysql, psql
or sqlite3 consoles), a graphical database browser, and a control
center
* relies on GLib, coded in C, its API is easy to use
* optionnally includes some graphical widgets (based on GTK+) for data
bound representations and some graphical tools
Changes from version 4.2.3:
-------------------------------------
- SQLite provider: correctly report error messages (for example instead of
"constraint failed")
- SQLite provider: correctly report if foreign key constraints are enforce=
d
or not
- Added possibility to "declare foreign key constraints", which are
declarations in the
metadata where databases don't actually use foreign keys
- GdaMetaStruct: report information about foreign keys
- GdaBrowser: many small improvements and corrections
- GdaSql and GdaBrowser: display more information about database providers
and DSN's connection
parameters, and display information about foreign key constraints
- Documentation improvements and corrections
- Misc small corrections
- Bug fixes: #639533, #639897, #639897, #640482, #642037, #642100 and
#642170
- translations:
- sl (Matej Urban=C4=8Di=C4=8D)
- es (Daniel Mustieles)
- cz (Marek =C4=8Cernock=C3=BD)
- fr (Bruno Brouard)
- de (Christian Kirbach)
Notes:
---------
* Installing this version will overwrite your existing
copy of Libgda 4.2. If you have problems, you'll need to
reinstall it.
* Libgda 4.2 is source and binary compatible with
the 4.0 series.
* Bugs should be reported to http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
See the http://live.gnome.org/ChooseLibgdaSQLite page for additionnal
