Does either of the principal commercial compilers (Aonix, GNAT) have a decent (i.e., better than ODBC) interface to Oracle? My team is evaluating Ada95 and Eiffel for a new development effort, and we are having a hard time identifying any sort of track record for Ada95 in this category (business/database) of application. All the Ada95 "buzz" seems to be related to device drivers and embedded controller software. We're willing to swim upstream with regard to non-mainstream languages, because we care deeply about software quality. However, we have neither the expertise nor the funding to (re)create low-level code such as database interface modules. TIA, Mark P.S.
