Re: ANN: Introducing AdaBase - Thick database bindings for Ada

[jrmarino <dragonlace.cla@marino.st>]

This is just a quick note that may be of interest to some people.
I just released version 3.0 of AdaBase, which comes with a fully supported PostgreSQL driver.  During its testing and development, I discovered minor issues/bugs with the other two drivers, so I fixed those too.  Of course, some of the type names changed since 2.0 so beware of that.  Finally, in order to treat multiple rowset from stored procedures identically with respect to "fetch_next_row_set", I had to create a new function "call_stored_procedure".  This is supported by both PostgreSQL and MySQL and function identically.  (I check all the drivers against several testcases that I wrote to make sure they behave as expected and as similarly to each other as possible).

I think version 3.1 will come out relatively soon.  I would like to add full support for geometry data types (new data type) and add better support for bit strings (new data type) and get MySQL to try to handle other native data types it currently rejects (e.g. xml, json, etc).  Once that is done, I'll probable limit development to addressing bug reports and driver improvements as use cases dictate.  I am not looking to add any new drivers for a while.
