Description Murray Cumming 2008-11-17 10:00:52 UTC 
There are several GdaServerProvider functions that are not fully documented and don't seem to be public API. For instance:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libgda/unstable/GdaServerOperation.html#gda-server-operation-get-node-parent

If these are useful then they documentation needs to say when they are useful, for what.
Comment 1 Murray Cumming 2011-11-09 14:26:20 UTC 
The only functions like this still in libgda 5.0 are gda_server_operation_load_data_from_xml() and gda_server_operation_save_data_from_xml()
http://developer.gnome.org/libgda/unstable/GdaServerOperation.html#gda-server-operation-save-data-to-xml

Presumably this is just a way to serialize the operation for use later, though I don't know why you would want to do that.

Anyway, it's not so weird anymore. Closing.
