Thank you for sharing your work with others.

I am a newbie when it comes to database. Your work is a perfect start for me. I just finished building your bindings on Windows. I will try on my Linux box later.

My first test was on fruit1.gpr. When running I got error message "raised ADABASE.ERRMODE_EXCEPTION : Failed to connect to file:///home/marino/adabase.sqlite". Look like most of the tests depended on /home/marino/adabase.sqlite file. 

Is there any way you can put it on GitHub? Thanks.
