We're about to write our own software to parse SQL return data into Lisp
data-structures.  Is there a tool somewhere that already does this (from
Allegro)?

Franz, Inc. tech support says they don't know of any product that provides a
SQL interface to Allegro (I assume you want a Sybase interface). Are you
absolutely tied to Allegro? If not, there are several other knowledge base
development environments that support database interfaces to a number of
RDBMSs. The products I know about are: Mercury KBE (Lisp), 
Knowledgeworks 2.0 (Lisp), Prokappa (C), and Nexpert Object (language?).

If you decide to write your own foreign function binding to Sybase's API,
you may want to look at the Allegro-to-Postgres interface code
distributed with Postgres. You certaintly won't be able to use it as is,
but it might get you started.

Good Luck!
