GNOME DB
GNOME-DB provides a free unified data access
architecture to the GNOME project. Although focused on the
GNOME desktop environment, care has been taken to cleanly
separate the data access framework (libgda) from the user interface.
Thus, GNOME-DB now consists of two projects. The first one is libgda,
which is the data access framework, and which is totally
GNOME-independent, thus allowing the development of non-GNOME
applications based on it. The other project is GNOME-DB itself,
which is much more than just a libgda front-end for the GNOME
project. It adds, to the already powerful libgda features, a smooth
integration of data access stuff into the GNOME desktop, all
this by making use of the latest GNOME technologies, such as
Bonobo, GConf, OAF, libxml, etc.
GNOME-DB's main features include:
- Supports multiple database backends, including Postgresql, Mysql, Oracle, ODBC, Sybase
- Distributed architecture thanks to the use of CORBA
- A CORBA-based report engine
- Support for exporting/importing data between unrelated RDBMS
- XML queries for allowing portable commands between RDBMS
- Complete set of [visual] tools for all your database access needs
- Complete set of libraries for allowing the development of apps based on gnome-db/libgda
