Save the following code to the (for example) sample.c file and compile with:

cc -Wall -o sample sample.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libgda-ui-4.0`

Run the ./sample program without any argument. The SQL run in this example selects all the fields of the customers table, so you should use a database which has a customers table (the default SalesTest DSN installed by Libgda the first time you run an application using Libgda will work).
