But the *dumbest-question* is the one that's never asked!! ^_^
Within a LISP object-oriented DB and the use of common lisp object
system is it better to use the meta-object protocol, clos, or a mixture
of both. Also I'm trying to see do the majority of LISP =>(or
(engineers . programmers)) prefer the entity relationship data model.
Basically, I'm trying to not let my project go dead. I've never used an
ODB, so i install elephant if that is considered a pure ODB *give me a
break* but I aiming at portablity, small as possible, system resources
aware so it's portable to even PDA'S with a lisp environment, also
intelligent reasoning about it's data in the database which is based on
the CVL model of (Diego Calvanese, Giuseppe De Giacomo, Maurizio
Lenserini; Structured Objects: Modeling and Reasoning; LNCS, pages
229-246.). Supporting xml data and xml validation for even use as a
xml db.
I thinking CLOS without MOP or is it AMOP stuff. But I thinking as
well that it might be necessary. Correct me if I'm wrong *dunno* !
Right NOW I'm trying to produce an alpha version of this idea. Advice,
Suggestions are Welcome. As the wind blows, the whole world shall
know, I come as I am, I am as I come an aficionados of LISP technology.

=> Although I disagree that CFFI and BerkelyDB are appropiate for this,
I think the goal of a portable database, even if "small" is a good
idea, is worthy of consideration and is doable (see the Lisp FAQ and
save_obj). Heck, if successful this project might even make a good
CLRFI.
