Oh, I understand it now.
OK, so I'm updating my sandbox with the CVS repo and I'll
compile it again.

Yeah, that was one of my ideas I wanted to suggest or may be develop
it myself. Great job.
I'm not a GTK guru, but I'm still learning GTK and I'm going
to contribute some interesting projects and GtkSql too.

Yes, may be it is one of usable solution.
I'll check it.
As I understand it is available currently on the CVS ?

May be I will make some improvements if I find some.

OK, I understand.
Hm, it may be some limitation. I usually work with large databases ;-))
As I said, I have some ideas ;-))) and
I try to implement it if I can.
If I will not manage to implement it, I'll send you some description
and may be Glade project file(s).
