Hi,
    I'm new here. I've been investigating building quite a large
application in Ada, and am trying to get my head around Ada database
connectivity.

Does anyone here use the Gnade ODBC Interface? If so, could someone
show me an example of binding (probably using SQLBindParameter or
SQLBindCol):

a) a Decimal or Fixed-Point type; or
b) some sort of time measure, such as a timestamp or duration; or
c) a binary or character stream such as a Blob or Clob.

Integers, Floats and Strings work fine, but it would be good to know
that I could get a full range of types supported, or know for certain
that I can't.

Ideally, I'd ask this of the Gnade mailing list, but that appears to
be dormant (is it?).
