lisp and oracle

Post by ruben.vanveerdeghem » Fri Mar 18, 2016 8:34 am

I already have experience in lisp programs used by cocreate modeling, but this is not able to connect to a oracle database, so I'm trying to do this by clisp, sbcl, lispworks personal or allegro express.

I'm working on a windows computer and can't find any tutorial on how to connect any of these programs to a remote oracle database. Can somebody help me to program this from scratch?

I tried to use "clsql" by doing this:

Code: Select all

(in-package :cl-user)

(load "C:/Program Files/Steel Bank Common Lisp/1.3.3/clsql-6.7.0/asdf.lisp")
(load "C:/uffi/uffi.asd")
(push #P"/usr/share/lisp/uffi/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(push #P"/usr/share/lisp/clsql/" asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'clsql)
But the last line already gives an error that clsql doesn't exist. I think I did something wrong to "install" this, but I don't know what.
Anyone who can help me and has some experience whit this?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi, you might want to give quicklisp a try.
It appears to have clsql support.
Quicklisp installs are generally easy.

Quicklisp did indeed help me a little further, but after installing "clsql" and "uffi" I still get some errors.

Code: Select all

* (clsql:connect '("localhost" "world" "root" "") :database-type :mysql)
STYLE-WARNING: Undefined alien: "strtoull"
STYLE-WARNING: Undefined alien: "strtoll"

debugger invoked on a UNDEFINED-FUNCTION in thread
#<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {23EAC0D1}>:
  The function MYSQL:MYSQL-GET-CLIENT-INFO is undefined.

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:EXIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [RETRY                        ] Retry ASDF operation.
  1: [CLEAR-CONFIGURATION-AND-RETRY] Retry ASDF operation after resetting the
                                     configuration.
  2: [ABORT                        ] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

(SYMBOL-FUNCTION MYSQL:MYSQL-GET-CLIENT-INFO)
0]
I searched google to find a solution for this "The function MYSQL:MYSQL-GET-CLIENT-INFO is undefined."
But I can't find anything, can somebody help me with this?

Thanks
