The SQL ADA Module Description Language (SAMeDL) is a language for describing information services to be provided to ADA application programs by SQL database management systems. This report shows how the SAMeDL can be adapted and extended to provide services to applications needing advanced features (e.g., dynamic SQL) or using non-ANSI standard data types (decimal, date) or having other unusual requirements. It also contains short descriptions of some implementation details.
