Yes ... but it's also nice to have different packages for different types of users. ;-) I suppose if you want to remove duplication, at this point why not re-base GDL on SQLClient :-) SQLClient provides an SQL library (like JDBC). It's got a nice simple API precisely designed to let you pipe SQL statements to a database and read results. :-) GDL provides a full object-to-relational-database framework, which is much more interesting in many ways, and has a much richer set of concepts and tools. But if you don't want any of them, ie, you don't want models, you don't want controls, you don't want associations or EOInterface etc ... then well why use GDL ? The interface to pipe SQL into the database is not as clean and simple as the SQLClient one, because it's not designed around that concept (in fact, the authors probably despise even the idea that you might be want to write SQL code directly). ;-) Thanks _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
