The table components provided by GTK and to an extent QT/KDE are relatively 'basic' (if you'll pardon the pun) and do involve the programmer doing a fair bit of work to actually get a user friendly result.

What I've done it to build on GridView to provide a more comprehensive approach to displaying and editing SQL based tables, MySQL in particular. (there may be a little work to do for non-MySQL databases, this is something I've not come to just yet)

• DBConnection is designed as a design time wrapper for a connection object.
• GridEditor is an enhanced GridView component with in-line editing facilities
• DBGridEditor is a sub-class of GridEditor with SQL DB handling

Hopefully this component will make it into the IDE eventually, but for now it's an add-in component (written entirely in Gambas) and as such is subject to what the IDE will allow. (i.e. it's not a smooth as I would like).
