Yep this is very strange. I've been through the code and you need a
'factory' to raise the connection, and this is what seems to be
missing as there are specific cases for postgresql and sqllite. For me
what is really sad is that it took me so long to install
gnatcoll :) .
     Has anyone got any more information (particularly adacore).
