I recently attended a discussion of AdaSAGE, a non-relational DBMS written in Ada that provides non-SQL query capabilities. The product is touted as an alternative to the Ada/SQL binding problem. Does anyone have any experiences using the tool? Any detailed descriptions of what it really does? It is not clear to me why I should give up the features of commercial DBMS packages just because no standard Ada/SQL binding exists. Any comments? I will post a summary to the net if there are enough responses. Thanks for you help.

An ANSI standard Ada/SQL binding does exist, using the SQL Module language. Furthermore, Marc Graham at the SEI (marc@sei.cmu.edu) is in the process of defining a more user/Ada friendly standard Ada/SQL binding with full approval of AJPO, and hopefully ultimate international standardization. This binding is called "SAME" (SQL/Ada Module Extensions). S. Tucker Taft Intermetrics, Inc. Cambridge, MA 02138 stt%inmet@uunet.uu.net taft@ajpo.sei.cmu.edu (617) 661-1840
