I agree with this. Server-specific APIs are generally awful and there's no advantage in tying yourself to a specific server unnecessarily. libgda uses API conventions that are familiar to GTK+ developers and makes changing the backend server fairly easy. (Over the years we have changed Glom from using MySQL, to using PostgreSQL, to optionally also using SQLite.) > 2010/2/24 Mats Rauhala <mats.rauh...@gmail.com>: > > Database engines have their own API for connecting.
