I do not understand your point about ODBC. The whole idea about ODBC is
to be independant of the database used. At least under NT I have achived
that. I was able to switch a prototype based on Excel (yes, Excel has
an ODBC layer) to an Access database and this without changing a single
line of Ada code. I would guess that this is also true under UNIX, right?
All others point are nice to explore, when do you plan to have answers to
them in your Web site :) ?
