Hi!

I have seen that Oracle's PLSQL is inspired by the Ada standard. I wonder if
there are
some historical material related to PLSQL vs Ada (?), but I don't know the
history (born too late :-).
To me it looks like Ada had a golden oportunitue to "ride on the back of a
tiger" when the PLSQL
were initiated. Were there some discussion related to this "once upon a
time"?-) Oracle probably
choose their own way due to market analyzis.

Of course this is looking into the past.
