Do Ada programmers normally store objects of user defined
types of their own in DBMS? Objects that the DBMS considers atomic,
to become one attribute value of some tuple (column value in some row).
Say, of a private type that exports "=" to the DBMS. These would
be types other than those binding-layer defined types like SQL_INT
etc, which, I take it, you meant by "DB data types".
