Before I try, I would like to know if it's possible to use CLSQL from
CLISP on Cygwin.

CLSQL requires UFFI which does not support CLISP. However, CFFI does
support CLISP and you can use UFFI libraries with it through
cffi-uffi-compat.

Some people people have reported success using CLSQL with
CLISP+cffi-uffi-compat although it might require some further
porting. (Namely wrt LOOP extensions, IIRC).

If you have any problems using cffi-uffi-compat, feel free to contact the
··········@common-lisp.net mailing list (subscription required). OTOH,
if you have any problems *not* related to CFFI, I suggest contacting the
··········@b9.com mailing list. Other people there might be interested
in CLISP support.

Thank you for the reply.

It is as I guessed. Not simple but maybe solvable. I'm not very at
home with all these jumpings between packages, even less on Cygwin,
but now that I know it's possible, I will try.

Go to cliki, either
http://www.cliki.net/UFFI or http://www.cliki.net/CLSQL

There you'll be directed to my UFFI wrappers for CLISP.  These were
good enough for me to be able to run clsql (both on Linux with
postgres and on MS-Windows with ODBC), cl-sdl and cl-gd.

I haven't tested clsql recently, so maybe new interface functions need
be added (I heard Kevin added uffi:getenv, which is available in every
CLISP and thus trivial to add to my package).
