Marc Graham of the SEI (marc@sei.cmu.edu) is head
of the SQL-Ada Module Extensions Design Committee (SAME-DC),
sponsored by AJPO,
and has a preliminary draft of a high-level SQL-Ada binding.
A lower level binding has been proposed to and accepted by
the ANSI committee X3H2.  This represents a more detailed
definition of the SQL Module-Language binding for Ada.
The embedded SQL binding for Ada is out of favor with the DOD/AJPO.

The X-Windows binding for Ada seems to periodically be updated
on ajpo.sei.cmu.edu (available via public FTP).  I don't
remember where it originates, though I think there is a READ-ME
file which elaborates on its origins.

The GKS binding has been adopted by ANSI as far as I know,
and is stable.  It may also be on the ajpo.sei.cmu.edu public FTP
area, and the SIMTEL-20 repository, though I am not sure.
I think Harris Corp. did the original work.
STARS JPO is probably a good place to start for both X and GKS bindings.
