   The configure script allowes you to by means of the --sampledb 
   to create a test data base.  Additionaly you may give a list 
   of RDBMS producs for which you like to build native bindings. If 
   nothing is given, only the ODBC interfaces relevant part of GNADE 
   will be build. 

   For the supported data base products  please check the README file 
   in the gnade directory. 
   If you don't have one of the supported data bases on your system 
   then omit the database. As a result the samples code will be
   compiled except the code for native bindings, but the sample 
   data base will not be available.

   most of the commonly known dbcs's require a data base user 
   to be installed. This normally required certain DBA privileges.
   There for this step is expected to be done manual as shown   
   below (The name of the user, the name 
   of the data base is specified in make.conf.in).

   to test the functionality of the data base you may create the 
   test data base already at this point by the following commands:
   <PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"

      gmake createdb
   </PRE

   This will create a database gnade which contains at least the 
   table EMPLOYEES which may be checked manually.
