Oracle haven't completely abandoned Ada. It's true that all ProAda
precompiler development has been stopped for some time now, but they have
replaced ProAda with SqlModule Ada. I'm not sure how many different
platforms are supported, but Windows NT and SCO UnixWare are certainly
amongst them.
It is a completely different beast to ProAda, though, in the way that it is
used. As far as I can determine, you write PL/SQL subprograms/packages to do
the jobs you want done and pass them through SqlModule, which spits out Ada
Specs for you to compile against (and presumably chunks of object code for
you to link against).
We've got masses of the stuff that we have to migrate, somehow!
