Source: cl-postmodern Section: lisp Priority: optional Maintainer: Dimitri Fontaine Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7) Build-Depends-Indep: dh-lisp Standards-Version: 4.1.3 Homepage: http://marijnhaverbeke.nl/postmodern/ Vcs-Git: https://github.com/marijnh/Postmodern.git Vcs-Browser: https://github.com/marijnh/Postmodern Package: cl-postmodern Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends}, cl-postgres, cl-s-sql, cl-closer-mop, cl-bordeaux-threads Description: Common Lisp library for interacting with PostgreSQL databases Features efficient communication with the database server without need for foreign libraries, support for UTF-8 on Unicode-aware Lisp implementations, a syntax for mixing SQL and Lisp code, convenient support for prepared statements and stored procedures, a metaclass for simple database-access objects . The biggest differences between this library and CLSQL/CommonSQL are that Postmodern has no intention of being portable across different SQL implementations (it embraces non-standard Postgres features), and approaches extensions like lispy SQL and database access objects in a quite different way. This library was written because the CLSQL approach did not really work for me, your mileage may vary. Package: cl-postgres Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends}, cl-usocket Description: Low-level client library for PosgreSQL CL-postgres module implements a rather low-level interface for communicating with a PostgreSQL database server. It is part of the Postmodern library, but can be used separately. Package: cl-s-sql Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends} Description: lispy syntax for SQL queries S-SQL provides a lispy syntax for SQL queries, and knows how to convert various lisp types to their textual SQL representation. It takes care to do as much of the work as possible at compile-time, so that at runtime a string concatenation is all that is needed to produce the final SQL query. Package: cl-simple-date Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends} Description: Common Lisp types for dates, timestamps, and intervals Simple-date provides types (CLOS classes) for dates, timestamps, and intervals similar to the ones SQL databases use, in order to be able to store and read these to and from a database in a straighforward way. A few obvious operations are defined on these types. . The most glaring defect of this library is its ignorance of time zones. It pretends the whole world lives in UTC. Use with care. . When this library is loaded after CL-postgres, it will register suitable SQL readers and writers for the associated database types.
