I think the DBI/SQL backend is ready to try. It is in the gda-dev2 branch. The GDA backend has been disabled and a DBI backend is enabled. It assumes that the include files are in /usr/include/dbi/dbi.h and the driver files are in /usr/lib/dbd. The only driver that the DBI backend supports is sqlite3. I am using libdbi-0.8.2. I assume later versions will work. I don't know about earlier versions. There is a compilation check that the header file is present, but no version check.
No new URI types have been added. If you try to open a file, it will check if it is an sqlite3 file, and will load it with sqlite3. If it can't, it will revert to xml. Save As will save a file as an sqlite3 file. The "Connect to Database" menu entry is still enabled but will (probably) fail. I don't have a windows compilation environment, so I haven't tried it on windows. Please feel free to try it out and report any problems. This is not yet ready for your real data, though it would be a good test to load your xml file and save-as an sqlite3 file.
