practical ada large storage - possibly a database witten in ada

[Tony Gair]

Hi Guys,
        Good to see you still arguing the ten year ada-c++ war of words.

Anyhow on to my querie...

Does anyone know of an efficient ( and public domain) ada storage package
which acts as a database server or could be incorparated into an ada
program. The package should be able to deal with perhaps a million and up
records....

Has anyone dealt with the issue of practical mass storage in ADA, and
maintained portability and their sanity,

I've very interested to hear from peoples strategies and solutions to this,

regards
Tony Gair

    It should't be that difficult (but I am making a guess here) to
make a binding to the classical Unix database (dbopen and friends).

Presumably you mean freely available, there is not much Ada software
in the public domain, but people tend to misuse this phrase to refer
to freely available Open Source and Free Software components.

  Have you searched on "database" at www.adapower.com?

I think the original version of the CLIPS expert system shell that was written
in Ada(83) is public domain. Other than that, I'm not aware of *any* significant
public domain Ada software. Most of the more recent stuff is either GPL or
GMGPL. Older stuff often uses variants of the "Artistic License".
