Yes; there was even a Graph-based DB called Mneson (or similar) that was all-Ada some years ago, I think I have a copy archived.

Well, you see "better" is hard to answer here, precisely because there's a LOT of different properties to consider: ease of interface, ease of use, various speed quantifications, recovery, journalling, and so on.

> 1 can you talk to scylla from ada?
Probably. Ada is *VERY* good at interfacing, but a lot depends on Scylla and its architecture -- if, for example, they provide no API nor external interfacing then it would be very, very hard (if at all possible)... regardless of the language.

> 2 could u replace scyla with somethign better coded in ada? 
Probably; but, again, you need to define what "better" *IS*.
