Other changes

Configuration management

  • Data sources and installed providers are now handled using the GdaConfig object, with the particularity that there can only be one such object instanciated per program.

  • The GDA_DSN_LIST_IN_MEMORY environment variable which , if set, prevented libgda from writing the list of defined data sources to a file has been removed. To obtain the same result, one must force the creation of the unique GdaConfig object with the user-file property set to NULL.
