Looking though the ada code in the include of gnatcoll, I can see no
reference to mysql only sqllite and postgres but I was under the
impression that gnatcoll interfaced to mysql. I think I must be
missing something! Can anyone shed some light on this?

Indeed, I see the same thing. Actually, I don't even have an sqllite
interface, possibly because I downloaded the gnatcoll package
directly, not as part of GNAT 2009. The description of GNATcoll on
the Libre site at Adacore mentions MySQL specifically, but even their
SVN code is lacking any reference to it.

Perhaps there is internal development at Adacore to include support,
and the description is just jumping the gun?

Yep this is very strange. I've been through the code and you need a
'factory' to raise the connection, and this is what seems to be
missing as there are specific cases for postgresql and sqllite. For me
what is really sad is that it took me so long to install
gnatcoll :) .
Has anyone got any more information (particularly adacore).
