well, libgda/libgnomedb offer a generic DB access layer, allowing access
to many different RDBMS, included MySQL. So if you want your app to
support many different RDBMS with no extra work, use libgda/libgnomedb.
If you want to just use MySQL, maybe it's better to just use it
directly, although you'll have to redo the work for the widgets.
