Dear all,

libgda (http://www.gnome-db.org) offers a common interface to
PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, ... databases. Libgda is based on Corba
and gives access to most database and schema objects (tables, columns, views,
functions are supported, triggers will soon be). It also has XML query
support, unified types and connexion pooling.

libgda is an independant library with no dependency to Gnome.

Why not integrate libgda in PostgreSQL to register and access remote database
objects? This would allow the "attachment" and integration of foreign tables
& views into PostgreSQL.

Best regards,
Jean-Michel POURE
