- "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 reveiw 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 to
- defining 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."
