Getting information out of the meta store can already be done using: * gda_meta_store_extract () for very specific needs (one needs to know the internal database structure and use SQL) * gda_connection_get_meta_store_data() which is more formal * a GdaMetaStruct object which is very easy to use and works very well for tables and views Where the API is still rough is regarding updating the meta store's data with the database structure (or populating it the first time), where one at the moment can only use gda_connection_update_meta_store().
