[comp.databases] AdaSAGE

samuels@chance.uucp (Michael Samuels) (02/06/90)

I am currently looking into various mechanisms for binding Ada
to SQL - embedded SQL (e.g., ProAda); a modular approach (e.g.,
Sybase), etc.  I recently attended a meeting where the product
"AdaSAGE" was introduced as an alternative.  It was never really
defined - it is NOT SQL, it is NOT relational, etc.  The product
is touted as an alternative to the Ada/SQL binding because it is
written in Ada and offers database management services "without
the problems associated with commercial SQL-based packages."

Does anyone have any information on AdaSAGE?  Descriptions and
experiences using it are welcome.  I will post a summary to the
net if there are enough responses.  Thanks.

In comp.databases article 2542 Michael Samuels asks for information
about a product called ADASage which offers data management services
for ADA programs "without the problems associated with commercial
SQL-based packages."

I'm very interested in hearing about just what those problems are for
ADA.  I suppose I'm also interested in hearing how this product
addresses them if it can be said in reasonably concrete terms which
make sense to programmers.
