Thanks, but regarding APQ it might indeed be broken. Actually I ceased to
support APQ since GNAT 3.14, because APQ was not maintained. I happy to see
that Debian guys want to revive it.

Though I am very disappointed with the present status of DB support in Ada.
There are too many projects, bindings are too low level. None of them
attempt to make it platform independent. On the contrary, authors tend to
be as much DBMS dependent as possible. There was a discussion on this in
comp.lang.ada, people agreed to disagree.
