I've been following with interest the discussion about
how to make Ada more popular and I'm wondering of the
absence of a single mention to PL/SQL.
Maybe I'm plainly wrong (I'm a newbie on PL/SQL) but:
Oracle (version 9i is the latest??) is a giant on the
large database business.
It's own language (PL/SQL) is basically Ada syntax
with SQL extensions.
In the latest versions of Oracle server, there is no
more a preprocessor for Ada (like the Pro*C one). Ins-
tead, specs are generated for direct use with Ada com-
pilers (not pretty sure of how this works exactly).
I think, Oracle is a giant amongst giants, and why we
cannot exploit this in favour of Ada?
(Now, Oracle is running towards Java, but...)
(Just shooting in the air...)
