For the past few weeks, I've ported my code from V3 to V4. My findings: 1) the sqlite provider for V4 seems to be in pretty good shape. I've found and fixed a number of memory leaks, but on the whole, I can use it. I have an operation to create an index which crashes, but I don't know if the problem is mine or in libgda, and need to chase it down.
2) the mysql provider is missing a lot. when I look for try to update the meta_store, all of the mysql routines report that they are not implemented. in addition, when I inquire whether a table exists or not, it returns that it does not, so when I try to create it, it fails because it already exists. In addition, as I reported in a previous posting, I need a mechanism to return the correct string dbms type based upon string length. 3) I haven't tried the postgresql provider yet. I need to make a decision soon whether to stick with V4 or revert back to V3, or possibly switch to a different db backend provider. What is the future of GDA-3 vs GDA-4? What is the expected timing for GDA-4? Will there by any more GDA-3 releases while V4 is being worked on? I understand that this is a volunteer project, but can you say anything about what I, a volunteer on another project, can expect?
