ABSTRACT

Ada/SQL Bindings

The ANSI Standard binding of SQL to Ada (ANSI X3.168) specifies how Ada programs may access the services of relational databases which conform to ANSI Standard SQL (ANSI X3.135). The ANSI binding uses weak, primitive data types, but most application programs need a binding which deals with strong, user-defined types. To use the ANSI binding in such circumstances, an "abstract module" must be placed between the application program and the ANSI binding in order to raise the level of abstraction of the binding. A specification for such an abstract module is provided by "Guidelines for Use of the SAME," Software Engineering Institute Technical Report CMU/SEI-89-TR-16. ("SAME" is an acronym for "SQL/Ada Module Extensions.") Unfortunately, applying the SAME method without any automated support would be a tedious task. "Ada/SQL Bindings" provides the needed automated support. It presumes that an implementation of the module version of the ANSI Ada/SQL binding is provided by the database vendor. It then permits a user to generate an abstract module conforming to the SAME method by instantiating Ada generics and executing the resulting program.
