Description
gda_connection_open_from_string is well documented, however it misses few important points: when using SQLite provider you have to pass DB_DIR key and TNSNAME one when you use Oracle provider. Also GDA3 expects 'USER' key while GDA4 expects 'USERNAME'. I expect any application which provides abstract database access based on GDA, "abuses" own code with many conditional control blocks which could be implemented (and encapsulated) by GDA itself.
