I have spent the last two weeks attempting to discuss Ada-9x and GNAT with
the good (?) people at Oracle.  Out of three technical reps, four
salespeople, and two semi-managers, I found ONE who knew what Ada was. 
That individual stated that Oracle was committed to compliance with the
latest standards.  He promptly faxed me three pages from the Pro*Ada
reference manuals identifying the various levels/standards of SQL that
Oracle supported.  

Even this former Marine knows when to quit hitting his head against the
wall.

Does anyone else know of a DBMS that will operate with GNAT?  Preferably
with an existing Ada interface?
And SQL support, as long as I am dreaming?

Vendors feel free to reply.  Summary will be posted if I recieve more than
two responses.
