Bug#496787: RFA: gnade -- GNat Ada Database Environment
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
GNADE is a complete database development environment for Ada programmers.
It consists of:
a. A Thin binding to the ODBC API. With this API, you can write programs
that query any ODBC-compliant database server.
b. Thin bindings to some specific database servers which provide
functionality above and beyond ODBC. In this release, these include
MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
c. An Embedded-SQL preprocessor, gesql. You can write Ada programs that
contain embedded SQL statements, as per the ISO SQL 92 standard. The
preprocessor translates the embedded SQL statements to ODBC calls.
I hereby request for someone to adopt the package. It is in good shape
with no known bugs. Future maintenance effort should be low. Upstream has
a version 2.0 in the works. I can sponsor the package for you if you're
not a Debian developer. The packaging scripts are in a public monotone
repository which you are welcome to use if you so wish:
