Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 03/24/2007 01:50 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
I'm pleased to annouce that libgda/libgnomedb version 2.99.6, AKA 3.0 RC1 have been released.
libgda/libgnomedb are a complete framewok for developing database-oriented applications, and actually allow access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, SQLite, FireBird/Interbase, IBM DB2, mSQL and MS SQL server, as well as MS Access and xBase files and ODBC data sources.
libgda/libgnomedb are part of the GNOME Office application suite, providing database access for many features in Gnumeric.
