[Geary] libgda instead sqlheavy

[Jim Nelson]

Hi Javier,

I have looked at libgda and don't think it's a fit for Geary's needs.
Unlike SQLHeavy, libgda is intended to hide the database engine from the
user, allowing an application to work with any flavor of data store.
That's not really important to Geary; we see little to no chance that we'll
switch away from SQLite any time soon.  (We also use SQLite with Shotwell
and have had good experiences with it.)

Also, we foresee the need to directly work with SQLite (in particular, for
fast full-text search, which may involve installing C-based callbacks).  We
can't do that with libgda.

Thanks for the suggestion.
