Hi Fabian, the link you gave me is rather outdated, take a look at http://docs.eiffel.com/book/solutions/eiffelstore for the current docs about eiffelstore. Surely I'm talking about interfacing with monetdb which for me is a black box, I don't know its internals. But taking for example the matisse eiffel bindings, they do something similar to what I described, besides the results were not so bad. I'm not saying that I want now to write eiffel bindings for monetdb, it was only an example trying to explore some possibilities. I think too that extending eiffelstore to manage also monetdb could be interesting but has to be done carefully ... I'm interested in the C API because I feel much confident with C but if this can cause troubles I'll fall back to java and jdbc. Have a nice day.

We prefer bindings to be written in the language itself, as much as possible. I'm almost sure wrapping the MAPI C-API in Eiffel will result in something foreign to the language (if you can figure out pre and post conditions anyway).
the intermediate results of an eiffel system build are c source files,

to have the final results you use a C compiler, I don't see any language mismatch.
Sure, but mapping each C function into a C-wrapper for Eiffel will make a mess. Swig is a well known example of that.
I would more expect something like: http://archive.eiffel.com/products/store.html
