libgnodbify is a library that allows you to create GObjects from database tuples. It currently only works if you're using a PostgreSQL database; but in theory it should be possible to adapt the library to another DBMS.
Its features include:
- Automatic caching of objects in memory, so that a lookup of an object that has already been fetched can take the cached version.
- Use of postgres' asynchronous notification feature to invalidate items in the cache, and to emit a signal when tuples are updated on the database side of things.
- Complete database abstraction; no need for constructing SQL strings at all, though the option is available in case you want to anyway.
However, the caching (and, thus, the asynchronous notification) isn't working very well yet. The objectization bits are.
It's in a pre-pre-pre-alpha state right now, but it works for me in this one particular project where I need it for work. YMMV. Also, read the TODO file if you're going to use it :)
