NAME
$(sysconfdir)/libgda/config - libgda global configuration file.

DESCRIPTION
The config file of libgda is an XML file. The document starts with
<libgda-config> tag, which contains sections that hold the configured
database providers for libgda.
The values in the global configuration file are overriden by the ones
in the user configuration file.
Each <section> has a 'path' attribute whose value must be something
like "/apps/libgda/Datasources/XXXXXXXX", where XXXXXXXX is the name of
the database backend (i.e., postgres, mysql,...)
Inside each <section> you can have for <entry> tags with 'name', 'type'
and 'value' attributes. Valid values for 'name' are: Provider, Username, DSN and Description. 'type' value is always "string" and 'value'
contains the value for the given 'name'.
