A recent discussion on the AWS users' mailing list made me realize
that there exist many, many different libraries for interfacing Ada
programs to various database engines. I even learned about a couple
that I was not yet aware of.

I think it would be very nice to consolidate all the information
available on all these libraries in one place, so that programmers
know about them and can choose wisely. It seems to me that the best
place for such a discussion is the existing page on the "Ada
Programming" wikibook:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Libraries/Database

This page was very incomplete, listing only GNADE, APQ and GWindows
with links to their home pages but no other information. I have edited
this page to provide more information in a table. The information
there is still incomplete; please add your favourite database
interface library to the page for better visibility and correct the
information as you deem necessary. Also feel free to add notes and
details outside the table.

Thanks for your help.
