    Hi Rodrigo,

    So this all sounds great and I definitely want to add
    it.

    I'd also *really* like it if we could run mail-merge
    from the command line. I.e. there's some sort of XML
    file or plaintext file that we can pass to the GDA
    plugin, and it will grab the resultset and iterate
    through it. We would then pass that to the printing
    engine or file saving engine.

    So if you know anything or have recommendations,
    that'd be some great stuff. I wasn't sure whether GDA
    supported the XML query sytax or something or if you
    had plans in this area. I didn't want to just design
    my own (trivial) schema if you had something better in
    mind.

    Cheers,
    Dom
