I am rather new to Ada and I had a design question. I'm working on a
web based application and I was wondering if declaring subtypes of
String for common database fields was overkill. For example:
subtype Address_Line is String(1..60);
subtype City is String(1..40);
subtype Zip_Code is String(1..9);
I understand that Strong typing is one of the strengths of Ada but I
just don't know how far to go with it.
Thanks,
mamboking
