Ada and DB2

Ada and DB2

[rcrafts]

Colleagues:

Do any of you know of any work/product/project that has been done or
is now in progress for an Ada to dbII interface?

Phil Kiviat (from Sage) called me with the above request.  The Army has
a COBOL prototype that uses dbII, and they are considering migrating the
program to Ada.  One of the "sticking points" is an interface to the dbII 
database product.  Apparently, if the interface is already done (or in the
process of being completed), or if the cost of developing one is not too high,
then the move to Ada would be more likely.

If you have any information on the above, please respond on the net to me,
or contact Phil directly at 301-294-1181.  My phone and FAX numbers are:
304-725-6542 and (FAX) 304-725-6543.

Thanks,

Ralph Crafts

   At Tri-Ada '88, IBM Toronto gave out a handout on the IBM Ada
   Product Line which states in part: "IMS/VS DC support [in the
   IBM Ada environment] allows an Ada application to communicate
   with DB2 (Database 2), the SAA (System Application Architecture),
   and SQL (Structured Query Language)".  

   General information regarding IBM Ada products can be obtained 
   from the IBM Ada Help Desk, which is at 1-800-387-0262. 

   Also, the CAUWG report published in the Jan/Feb '88 Ada Letters
   contained an announcement of IBM's Ada equivalent of CICS, _Ada
   Interactive Services_; inquiries are to be directed to Richie
   Jacobovits at 1-301-240-6322 via your local IBM representative.  

   Hope this helps,
