Adding custom data

This section explains how to add application specific data (custom data) to a #GdaMetaStore object.

Applications of course don't need to use that feature to manage their own data but it makes sense to use it if the application also uses metadata to avoid having to manipulate several files for the same "task".

Storing data as (key, value) pairs

In very simple cases, when the data to store is made of named values, the easiest way is to use the gda_meta_store_set_attribute_value() and gda_meta_store_get_attribute_value() methods where the values are stored and retreived as strings.
