Re: *** Release of GNADE 1.3.6a ***

[achrist@easystreet.com]

I'm trying to find/select database software for a project that is to
be developed initially under Windows/NT, but planned to be ported to
linux later.  Does GNADE have Win32 and linux versions that will work
portably across these two OS's?  It looks like the Win32 version is
several releases behind, but IDK if that's right or how serious a 
problem that is, if any. I suppose that MySQL would be the database 
of choice for this according to this announcement.  

Other advice welcome.

My criteria (in order of importance) for the database are
1. Cheap (ie free for use at one site as in Berkely DB)
2. Reliable (ie unatteded operation without crashing orten).
3. Efficient (quick retrieval of many rows.  Number of simultaneous
   users will be low, but sometimes more than one).	 
4. Easy to talk to database from eg GNAT 
5. Easy for customers to install and configure databases if we 
   distribute to additional sites.	
6. Not Ada-only

Any possible choices besides MySQL, PostgreSQL, Berkeley DB?  Any 
good choices?
