  Description     : SQL client library for GNUstep

The SQLClient library is designed to provide a simple interface to SQL
databases for GNUstep applications.  It does not attempt the sort of
abstraction provided by the much more sophisticated GDL2 library but
rather allows applications to directly execute SQL queries and
statements.

Major features:

* Simple API for executing queries and statements.
* Simple API for combining multiple SQL statements into a single
  transaction.
* Supports multiple sumultaneous named connections to a database server
  in a thread-safe manner.
* Supports multiple simultaneous connections to different database
  servers with backend driver bundles loaded for different database
  engines.
* Configuration for all connections held in one place and referenced by
  connection name for ease of configuration control.
* Thread safe operation.

Supported backend bundles are ECPG, Postgres, MySQL and SQLite.
