The use of the programming language Ada for the development of commercial applications largely depends on the availability of interfaces to database and interactive communication systems. This paper introduces an interface from Ada to the database language SQL. The approach taken in this paper is different from that taken in the interface definition Ada/SQL which is proposed as a binding of the ANSI standard database language SQL. This interface is defined as an Ada package with nested generic packages and generic subprograms, an d presents a complete model of the interface in an Ada application. A small but complete example explains the use of the interface in an Ada application. It also demonstrates that the interface is well suited for use by Ada programmers who are not database and SQL experts.
