Preface

This package is part of the GNADE project hosted at http://gnade.sourceforge.net. The build environment is based upon the ABE project hosted at http://ascl.sourceforge.net.

The objective of this project is to provide a basic approach to object persistency for Ada 95. The project will be done in two phases:

• Phase 1 - Objects are stored in the filesystem

• Phase 2 - Objects are stored in an RDBMS

This document represents Phase 1. In this phase some basic features of an object database as e.g. collections will be available.

The coordination of the development work is done by:
