GNU Data Access (GDA) is an attempt to provide uniform access to
|
|
|
|
|
different kinds of data sources (databases, information servers,
|
|
|
|
|
mail spools, etc).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is a complete architecture that provides all you need to access
|
|
|
|
|
your data, defined by a set of CORBA interfaces as generic as possible
|
|
|
|
|
(but very powerful at the same time) so that any kind of data source
|
|
|
|
|
can be accessed through them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
libgda is an interface to the GDA architecture, providing a nice
|
|
|
|
|
wrapper around the CORBA interfaces, for both the client and the server
|
|
|
|
|
parts. It also provides a bunch of tools to help you both in the
|
|
|
|
|
development and management of your data sources, all done through
|
|
|
|
|
the GDA model's set of CORBA interfaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
libgda was part of the GNOME-DB project, but has been separated from it
|
|
|
|
|
to allow non-GNOME applications to be developed based on it.
