That makes no sense. They are providing a programming interface
for Ada to SQL. Whatever is the actual interface to the database
should not have any influence on the proper way to define this.
And SQL isn't "untyped". It supports a rather small set of data
types that can be stored in tables. It seems to me one cannot
design an Ada interface that requires passing data using
      Params => (1 => +Name'Access)
and then blame the results on anything but themselves.
