I think that if we want a database interface in the Ada standard it should be
based  on ODBC. ODBC is just that a cross-platform standard to access any
databases. Maybe it is not the best in term of performance but it is standard,
simple, comprehensive well known at this point... and it is always possible to
provide external high level libraries not in the standard.
