Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <47bb0af8$0$21766$4d3efbfe@news.sover.net> Organization: SoVerNet (sover.net) NNTP-Posting-Host: dc03e557.news.sover.net X-Trace: DXC=7g`YM2kgLK6_LM2JZB_CnXNK`a I'm looking for a good way to interact with an off the shelf database server from an Ada application. I need to be able to make SQL queries, examine the results, and so forth. My application will be running on Windows XP and will be built with GNAT GPL 2007. The database server probably also needs to run on Windows XP, but this is a more flexible requirement... I might be able to run the database server on a Linux machine. My intention is to use either PostgreSQL (preferred) or MySQL. I could possibly also use Oracle. After a quick search I located GNADE and APQ. Neither of these projects appears to be particularly active (my apologies if I misinterpreted the web pages). There is an ADBI (Ada Database Interface) project on SourceForge that looks at least somewhat active, but there are no downloadable files posted for it yet. I'm wondering if there is a "well known" database interface library for Ada that I should be looking at. Thanks Peter
