I'm pleased to annouce the 7th release of Gtk2::Ex::DBI ...
http://entropy.homelinux.org/Gtk2-Ex-DBI/

Gtk2::Ex::DBI is an open-source helper object that makes your Gtk2-Perl
apps data aware. It handles querying, 'painting' records on your
Glade-generated form, passing updates back to the database server,
inserting, deleting, and much more. Roll your own MS Access.

This release completes support for MS SQL Server ( and almost certainly
Sybase ) via DBD::ODBC. Other servers may also work with via DBD::ODBC.

Postgres support is *very* close. I basically need to know how to fetch
the sequence of an inserted record via $dbh->last_insert_id ... but I
don't use Postgres and the docs are a little obscure on what's needed.
Postgres users are encouraged to step up to the plate and complete this
small missing link :)
