The only way I know of to access Oracle using GNAT is through ODBC. Objective
Interface Systems sells an ODBC product for Ada which I've used with GNAT on 2
projects. Oracle's ProAda product, to my knowledge, hasn't been ported to GNAT.
ProAda has many compiler dependencies and making it GNAT-friendly isn't easy
(I've tried). ODBC, however, is very easy to use. Plus it's vendor independent.
Hope this helps,
Bill Pritchett
