I agree. >From what I read in this thread, GWindows.Database can be split away from GWindows, so that the issue of database is made orthogonal to the issue of the GUI - this is the Tao of Programming. There are, to my knowledge, three free DB libraries in Ada: GNADE, APQ and GWindows.Database. I don't know enough about all three to decide how much they overlap, but they certainly do. I leave it as an exercise to the reader to decide if this is worth a vote :) -- Ludovic Brenta.
