Re: Help needed for ada package

Ok Ludovic I'll start from the top, firstly I am a college student and
this is an assignment I have to pass to stay in college, essentialy
during my acedemic year family problems which I won't go into caused
me to take a leave of absense for nearly half the year. When I get back
I took exams of which I passed two and failed two, one being
programming and the other electronics. The reason I have not got time
to learn ada is because by the time I do and get this project done I
will not have enough time to learn for the resists for the electronics
papers.

I have already finished one programming project in Scheme and I can
email it to you to prove it. Equally this ada project is based on a
completely victicious society called the People's Oligarchy of
Poppleton, and the project states the database is to track fictional
citizens that are considered a threat to the society. That's it. If you
are still suspicious I can scan the paper in and email it to you.
If I offended anyone here I'm very sorry I really didnt mean to do
that. This was my last resort because I refuse to think I'm going to
get thrown out of college over a project that in the long run will mean
nothing. Those who suggested to see my tutor, well he hasn't seen me in
a long time, this is an assesed piece of work so I can't ask questions
and also he is one vacation.

I did actually attempt to start this thing but everytime I got an idea
I discovered a small thing about ada which didn't allow it. I was
thinking of using a priority queue for the rate procedure and the
querying functions but realised I didn't know how to implement the data
structure. Then I thought about doing this as simply as possible by
mimicking MS access by having the equivalent of two tables, one for
rate and the other for associate using multidimentional arrays but for
some reason I didnt use that method becuase I read somewhere that all
the data in an array had to be of the same type but was unsure if this
counted for multidimentional arrays that had arrays to act as columns
since the associate table would of had two columns for the citizen
pairs that are associated and a another column which would have
contained boolean results to check if that pair had already been
reported or not. Then I thought using an array of records instead with
all the relevant record instances but was unsure how I would design the
searches to manipulate this data structure.

I hope this answers any questions, if you can help that would be great.
