Kazakovhttp://www.dmitry-kazakov.de Totally - I found it very hard to find something useful, the odbc api packages you wrote to use with your persistant objects proved very useful though and I think they are probably the safest, most usable and thickest binding ada programmers have available at the moment even though it was originally written for your persistant objects. It allows not so talented ada programmers like myself to use the gnade ODBC binding which lets face it is a pretty intimidating if not complicated beast.
