Steve,

We are in the process of updating our Oracle embedded SQL (Pro*Ada)
application to use ODBC.  Our application resides on a HP-UX 10.20
system and we are using Aonix's ObjectAda 7.1 for the compilation.  
Aonix also provides a set of thin bindings to ODBC Level 2.0 plus
extensions.

On the ODBC side, we are using OpenLink's Multi-tier Data Access Driver
Suite (http://www.openlinksw.com) which provides it's own object
broker (i.e., does not require SQL*Net to be installed).

We have been very successful in using the Ada bindings, although we
rely heavily on the Interfaces.C packages since the bindings are thin.

If you have more specific questions, please feel free to e-mail me.

v/r,
Rick Maffei
