General Definition of Project (Ada/SQL Binding) for the Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems

TL;DRAbstract

Abstract : A standard binding was needed between Ada and SQL (Structured Query Language), the ANSI and DoD standard for accessing commercial relational data base management systems (DBMS's). SQL was not designed to be embedded within applications in general purpose programming languages, such as Ada. Previously developed Ada-SQL bindings have had various technical drawbacks. A prototype Ada-SQL binding was built by automating the SQL Ada Module Extension methodology (SAME). SAME is a method for building Ada applications that access DBMS's via SQL. SAME extends SQL by exploiting the features of Ada. This Technical Plan presents the background, technical approach, and top-level capabilities of the project. It also discusses such technical problems as storing arbitrary data types in a data base and using SAME without a module language compiler. (kr)
