I am part of a team who was tasked by the Department of Defense to study the implication of mandating the use of ADA in the government.  I am particularly interested in the suitability of using ADA in writing applications to access large databases.  I would greatly appreciate any opinions, experiences, pointers to information on the following topics:

   -  ADA/SQL Binding Approaches
   -  Existing and Planned ADA DBMS Packages.
   -  Application Development Tools in ADA
   -  Suitability of ADA for End User Computing

Please send replies to kamel@cs.nps.navy.mil.  I will summarize and post your replies.
