Excellent! It would be wonderful if it would work with lispworks.<BR>
<BR>
It is certainly reasonable to create a "lispworks+CLSQL" only<BR>
solution OR a "lispsworks+BDB" only solution; I would be happy<BR>
to roll that into a release, and hope that in the future the full feature<BR>
set would be supported.<BR>
