Yes Oracle as abondoned Pro*Ada and I do think that this is good
thing. Pro*Something is just a plain mess and makes your program
non-portable at all. I would prefer to use a high level library (based on
ODBC if possible) to access the content of a database. At least if this
library is based on ODBC you'll have the possibility to change the
database.
PRO*Something just encourage you to have database access all around
your application.
I have worked on an application where we have used PRO*C instead of
and at least it was good because PRO*C is well supported and it was
not possible to "easily" mix PRO*C code with Ada code. So the design
was important here and the interface between both world was clear
and well defined. But I would still prefer to use a high level library to
do the job...
Pascal.
