1. Because a full relational database is VERY nice to have and causes
few surprises. It is not a matter of not needing one. It is a matter of
not being able to use one.
2. The Ada type is simply not apropriate in this context. This is a
typical DP application. When doing DP stuff, do it the way DP stuff
should be done.
3. When implementing Ada support for the database one makes sure that
one includes the proper date/time stuff into the support library.
