For SQL on Windows, use it (works at work for years now!):
  https://github.com/TurboGit/Ada-ODBC
Perhaps SQL is an example of something that is difficult to have portable.
For several projects of mine I do my best to have them portable (i.e. reall=
y portable, without tricks like preprocessing) and sometimes it is successf=
ul (e.g. Zip-Ada). Of course for that it requires being a bit system-agnost=
ic and test on various compilers / OS, and not only your preferred system.
