I like the idea. Not too many discussions about Ada here is about using
it with an sql-database. I use them all the time - I guess that is a
design pattern I'm used to. And not too many good solutions exits.
Most packages lacks some datatype, like date/time/timestamp, or clobs,
or something else.

I will certainly have a look and see how you solve 'prepare' for
PostgreSQL, when you are done.

As is, I got a fair bit of code using my own binding.
If the api is close enough to what I use now,
I sure will consider switch.

If I can't, then looking at other peoples's code gives new ideas.

And hearing that there is a good set of documentation is always nice.
