Happy new year !

I have a some "naive" questions regarding Ada and data bases (in SQL) :
1 - How can I implement a SQL data base in an Ada program developped
with
GNAT ? I mean is there some free package implementing a data base engine
in Ada that can directly understand a request in SQL something like :
    SQL_request(" SELECT ... FROM ....");
2 - More generaly, but tell me if I'm wrong, I suppose that it would be
usefull to extend the Ada langage with some data base facilities, a bit
like what has been done for tasking : a clear syntax directly
understandable at upper level and consistent with the rest of the
langage, and an implementation depending on what exists on the target :
if a good database engine already exists, then simply creates a binding
(like the binding bewteen Ada tasks and some OS thread) or if nothing
exists use the one provided by the compiler (like GNAT under Ms-DOS)...

Thanks for your response.
