1GNU Data Access (GDA) is an attempt to provide uniform access to
2different kinds of data sources (databases, information servers,
3mail spools, etc).

5It is a complete architecture that provides all you need to access
6your data, defined by a set of CORBA interfaces as generic as possible
7(but very powerful at the same time) so that any kind of data source
8can be accessed through them.

10libgda is an interface to the GDA architecture, providing a nice
11wrapper around the CORBA interfaces, for both the client and the server
12parts. It also provides a bunch of tools to help you both in the
13development and management of your data sources, all done through
14the GDA model's set of CORBA interfaces.

16libgda was part of the GNOME-DB project, but has been separated from it
17to allow non-GNOME applications to be developed based on it.
