I've a project on a unix system V platform using gnat compilers...

What I would like to do is have a C / C++ library communicating with a
database and ada programs making calls into that library to get data.
Ideally I would like the library to return objects ala COM but this may
be unrealistic so I would be happy enough to return structures /
records.  Does anyone know how possible this is and if is likely to be
worth the effort.  Its not an option to use C throughout the project but
Ada could be used to communicate with the database.  The reason for
using C is so I can use the Rogue Wave DBTools classes to deal with the
database.
