<div>Hi Erik</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I want to apply for hosting for another my project monetdb-mapi </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Full name : Slobodan Blazeski </div>
<div>gpg public key:</div>
<div>Already sent with cl-finance project request but resending just in case as attached.</div>
<div>Description of project:</div>
<div>MonetDB <a href="http://monetdb.cwi.nl/">http://monetdb.cwi.nl/</a> is a open-source column-oriented database system for high-performance, query intensive applications in data mining, <acronym title="On-Line Analytical Processing">
OLAP</acronym>, <acronym title="Geographic Information System">GIS</acronym>, <acronym title="eXtensible Markup Language">XML</acronym> Query, text and multimedia retrieval. MonetDB often achieves a <a href="http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb//SQL/Benchmark/TPCH/">
10-fold raw speed improvement for SQL </a>and <a href="http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb//XQuery/Benchmark/">XQuery</a> over competitor RDBMSs.</div>
<div>Currently there are programming interfaces for c/c++, perl, php, python, jdbc, & odbc. <a href="http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb/SQL/Documentation/Programming-Interfaces.html">http://monetdb.cwi.nl/projects/monetdb/SQL/Documentation/Programming-Interfaces.html
</a></div>
<div>Common lisp could currently interface monetdb only through odbc driver which gave me a mixed feelings, beside there is overhead of managing odbc connection, lack of functionality etc.</div>
<div>I'm building the interaction layer for common lisp through mapi the c/c++ library <a href="http://homepages.cwi.nl/~mk/MonetDB/The-Mapi-Library.html ">http://homepages.cwi.nl/~mk/MonetDB/The-Mapi-Library.html </a>
</div>
<div>using cffi <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/">http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/</a> so I'm expecting a portable result. First I'll finish the lower layer with c like interaction from lisp than add some lispy layer of communication. Also the lower layer could later used as a backend for clsql if Kevin Rosenberg is interested incorporating it.
