I don't think this is homework; I think it's worse than that.  Some
unknown group of unknown people are asking us to write a database
containing actual person records in it.  We don't know what country
the database will run in, what people will have their records in it,
what is the definition of "badness", and, most importantly, we don't
even know what this unknown group of people is planning to do with the
"bad" people.

"strictly_mk", who are you anyway?  If you don't have the time to
learn Ada, that's fine and fair but could you please elaborate on the
more important questions I raised?
