User's Manual for a Prototype Binding of ANSI-Standard SQL to Ada Supporting the SAME Methodology for the Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) Program

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 User's Manual contains installation instructions, compilation order, guidelines for input data, detailed steps to create a specific binding, and information about porting the system to another DBMS.
