Lawton > various affiliations, my fingers typed this, they are on their own I have a pretty good understanding of pro*ada. It is available for most of the Ada compilers out there. It works, but like all pre-processors, you lose some control of what is happening in your code. For example, after pre-processing your code will have USE statements. Your code will also now be two files. Both of these things can cause problems with project standards and configuration control. There are also issues with how their dynamic sql statements are implemented (raw addresses) that may make you shiver, but they can be avoided by not using these features if they worry you. There is also OCI (Oracle Callable Interface) in Ada if you want to go with that interface. Good Luck, --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | |Matthew C.
