there is the GNADE project that provides you native Mysql Access. It's
simple to use.

AWS -> Ada -> MySql

[Andy]

I am looking to create a MySql database connecting to an Ada program
capable of administering the database, which in turn will be hosted
using Ada Web Server.

Is this even possible?

The MySql database is not a problem to create, but currently i am
struggling to figure how the Ada can control the database. Has anyone
had any success in this field?

Thanks.

What do you mean by "Ada can control the database?"  If you are
talking about a client program in Ada using a MySQL database, then
you can use the APQ library (see prominent link on my home page
below). APQ makes it very simple to do SQL queries on a PostgreSQL
and/or MySQL database in natural Ada terms, without any
source code preprocessing. I would think that this would be a
trivial thing to do from the "Ada Web Server".

If instead you are speaking about _administering_ a MySQL database
from an Ada program, then you'll need to look elsewhere. APQ presently
only performs "client" related functions, not administration/server
functions.

excellent thank you, i'm looking at the GNADE project, but am also
interested in other ways such as yours, thanks for highlighting it to
me.  I'll go have a look at it.
