Proposal on d-d-l: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2008-April/msg00084.html
License: LGPLv2 or later (I believe)

Short description:
==================
Libgda is a database abstraction layer which hides all the database
backend specifics from the user, offering a simple interface to each
supported database (MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite are fully functional
while Oracle and MDB are useable and missing features) to run queries.

Summary so far:
===============
 + initially proposed for a symbol-database plugin in anjuta
 + doubts about possibility to reach API/ABI stability for the 4.0
   branch so early after its release
 + sqlite has been approved as an external dependency during this cycle,
   for evolution. In this case, usage of sqlite was favored over usage
   of libgda mainly for performance reasons.
