It is kept up to date with libmergeant's dev. Libmergeant is not mature enough and has not been put on the web. It's considered part of mergeant at the moment (tough I use it at work to quickly build simple apps). Its aim is ease the re-write of mergeant, and offer a simple to use high level library. > > Libgnomedb is a GUI layer on top of libgda. > > Libmergeant seems to be a mix of things specific to the mergeant > application and things that really should be in libgnomedb or (maybe) > libgda.

Libmergeant has: - a data dictionnary (tables, fields, data types, FK, PK, etc) , - a plugin system to have widgets to handle any type of data (the most basic such as strings, numbers, dates and dooleans at the moment), and - some high level widgets such as forms and grid views (which allow user to modify data and makes SQL queries automatically). - any type of user defined queries It uses libgda, libgnomedb and relies on GObject. > > Just trying to clarify thing. I'm not a developer of libgda or > libmergeant. When libmergeant is a bit more mature, it will probably be broken in two parts and be merged into libgda (for the non GUI part) and libgnomedb (for the GUI part). In CVS mergeant/examples there is a small and simple sample application which uses libmergeant, for those of you who want to have an idea of what it can do regarding widgets.
