- -- Abstract :
- ----------------:
- ----------------:
- ----------------: The HQ USAF Assistant Chief of Staff for
- ----------------: Information Systems anticipates the
- ----------------: adoption of SQL as the Air Force standard
- ----------------: Relational data base query language. The
- ----------------: Air Force will probably adopt the American National
- ----------------: Standard (ANS) Database Language SQL as its
- ----------------: Relational query language. A draft proposed American
- ----------------: National Standard (dpANS)/International Standard
- ----------------: Database Language SQL is in the public review process.
- ----------------:
- ----------------: Given the above Air Force position, the WIS
- ----------------: JPMO began a project with the Institute for Defense
- ----------------: Analysis and RACOM Computer Professionals to develop
- ----------------: a standard Ada DBMS interface (Ada/SQL) based
- ----------------: on the dpANS Database Language SQL. A "Proposed
- ----------------: Binding Ada to Database Language SQL" has been
- ----------------: presented to the responsible American National
- ----------------: Standards Committee (X3H2). We anticipate its
- ----------------: adoption as the DoD and ANS/ISO standard Ada
- ----------------: relational DBMS interface and it will be the
- ----------------: WIS Standard Ada DBMS interface. As such, we
- ----------------: recommend the Ada/SQL interface be used for any
- ----------------: development of an Ada DBMS interface.
- ----------------:
- ----------------: The RAPPORT and DAMES DBMS Ada interfaces were
- ----------------: among the R&D precursors developed to define an Ada
- ----------------: DBMS interface. They are provided for information
- ----------------: only and their syntax should not be used as a basis
- ----------------: to build an Ada interface for any other DBMS.
- ----------------:
- ----------------: This tool was developed as a precursor for
- ----------------: the WMCCS Information System (WIS). An
- ----------------: executable version of the tool has been
- ----------------: demonstrated.
