><P
>      The objective of the GNADE project is to provide an
      open source  environment of tools and libraries in order to 
      integrate SQL into Ada 95. 
      In order to achieve this ODBC and embedded SQL have 
      be selected as platform.
   </P
><P
>      ODBC provides the interface between application code 
      and the underlying dbcs. This interface has been selected
      because most if the commonly used data bases are providing
      ODBC.
   </P
><P
>      Embedded SQL (ESQL) provides the framework to integrate SQL
      queries into the Ada code. ESQL has been selected because 
      there exists a huge amount of legacy code which could be 
      reused. Even ESQL is standardized there are a lot of 
      different implementations around. The ESQL translator 
      in this project tries to merge several ESQL dialects
      into a single translator.
   </P
><P
>      In long terms the project will provide means to integrate
      features which are not part of the ISO/92 ESQL specification 
      via extensions of ESQL.
