I think few people will agree here. A DBMS is usually serving your
distributed program, and also several different, possibly unrelated
distributed programs. Stored procedures need not even be present.
There might be good organisational reasons to use a common DB for
the different programs.

I think that "coordinating I/O" in the way of a DBMS is rather tricky.
Do you have an idea of a protocol that might extend Ada's rudimentary
distribution support to achieve at least as much data coordination
as contemporary DBMSs?
