I've been using GNADE quite a lot recently and it works quite well. If ther=
e was to be work put into any Ada DB interface, I'd argue for Gnade on the =
grounds that you get support for all databases for the price of one. In par=
ticular we're unlikely to get support for the big databases like DB/2 and O=
racle any other way.=20

Areas that look like they need work are support for Unicode (I've never bee=
n able to get this to work properly) and support for binary objects.

Here's my attempt at a simpler ODBC interface built on top of Gnade:
