<p>
Previous versions of <span class="application">Libgda</span> only supported being used in a single thread at a time; this new version
still keeps this limitation except for objects which implement the <a class="link" href="GdaLockable.html" title="GdaLockable">GdaLockable</a>
interface which can be used from any thread at the same time: the
<a class="link" href="GdaConnection.html" title="GdaConnection">GdaConnection</a> and <a class="link" href="GdaSqlParser.html" title="GdaSqlParser">GdaSqlParser</a>
objects implement that interface.
