I have been tasked to develop a set of Web pages that are hosted on a Sparc.
I would like to use Ada GNAT to accomplish the CGI side of this.  The only
thing that holds me back is the Ada interface to the Oracle SQL database that
is to be used as the data repository for the Web site.  While I have developed
Oracle-interfacing CGI using 4GL tools (Sapphire/Web) and with C, I'd rather
use Ada.   I'd like to know if GNAT supports a SQL interface, and if there are
any "gotchas" or war stories.  If there is not too much negative commentary I
will be able to go to my management and make a strong case to use Ada.

Thanks, Bill
