Technically, SOCI-Ada supports all backends that exist in SOCI - the Ada 
layer is not implied in any way in the backend loading and interaction, 
so even if somebody implements new database backend in SOCI, it will 
become naturally available in SOCI-Ada without any modification.

The problem with SQLite3 is that it is not officially supported in SOCI 
and so it is not supported by SOCI-Ada, either.
There is a backend implementation in the code repository, but it is not 
actively maintained - presumably it works for some people, but the low 
level of maintenance activity does not allow to declare it as a fully 
supported backend.

The backends that are actively maintained and fully supported are 
Oracle, PostgreSQL and MySQL. They are also most heavily used.
