Scope
This International Standard specifies the syntax and semantics of a database programming language, the SQL Ada Module Description Language, SAMeDL. Texts written in the SAMeDL describe database interactions which are to be performed by database management systems (DBMS) implementing Database Language SQL. The interactions so described and so implemented are to be performed on behalf of application programs written in Programming Language Ada.
The SAMeDL is not a Programming Language; it may be used solely to specify application program database interactions and solely when those interactions are to occur between an Ada application program and an SQL DBMS.
The SAMeDL is defined with respect to Entry Level SQL. Therefore, all inclusions by reference of text from ISO/IEC 9075:1992 include all applicable Leveling Rules for Entry Level SQL.
This International Standard does not define the Programming Language Ada nor the Database Language SQL. Therefore, ISO 8652:1987 takes precedence in all matters dealing with the syntax and semantics of any Ada construct contained, referred or described within this International Standard; similarly, ISO/IEC 9075:1992 takes precedence in all matters dealing with the syntax and semantics of any SQL construct contained, referred or described within this International Standard.
NOTE: The SAMeDL is an example of an Abstract Modular Interface. A reference model for programming language interfaces to database management systems, which includes a description of Abstract Modular interfaces, can be found in reference [2].
