   I have successfully used Pro*Ada with SunAda and Oracle 7.2.2, but
I haven't tried 7.3.2 yet.  I suspect that the lack of stories is due
to the lack of Pro*Ada related problems--all my problems have been
with configuration details, and not specific to any interface used.
(This is not a criticism of Oracle incidently.  Getting anything that
accesses a database as a cgi-bin program configured correctly is a
pain.  You want to limit access to the minimum needed for the
application, and on Unix creating a restricted environment is painful.
Fortunately it is a pain once per host configuration not once per
cgi-bin program.)
