I am currently looking into various mechanisms for binding Ada
to SQL - embedded SQL (e.g., ProAda); a modular approach (e.g.,
Sybase), etc.  I recently attended a meeting where the product
"AdaSAGE" was introduced as an alternative.  It was never really
defined - it is NOT SQL, it is NOT relational, etc.  The product
is touted as an alternative to the Ada/SQL binding because it is
written in Ada and offers database management services "without
the problems associated with commercial SQL-based packages."

Does anyone have any information on AdaSAGE?  Descriptions and
experiences using it are welcome.  I will post a summary to the
net if there are enough responses.  Thanks.
