What is it?

MaiSQL is a basic package for interfacing CMUCL with SQL RDBMSes, and as such was the basis for the development of the more fully featured and/or more widely ported descendants UncommonSQL and CLSQL. The packages in question are in the process of merging/integrating, so that finally a cross-platform, fully-featured, and integrated interface for SQL RDBMS access seems to be emerging.

The interface that MaiSQL implements is in turn derived more or less from the interface of Xanalys's (at the time still Harlequin's) Common SQL. Please note though that this implementation is not the property of Xanalys, nor do they have any responsibility for its content or accuracy.

Features

Basic interfaces for querying and manipulation of databases
FFI interfaces to MySQL and PostgreSQL
A socket-level interface to PostgreSQL
A fairly comprehensive reference guide
Distributed under a fairly non-restrictive X-style license.

Download

The latest official release of MaiSQL was 0.25, which can be obtained here:

MaiSQL-0.25.tar.gz (202K)

However that release tarball is mostly interesting for the included manuals, since there have been important fixes for newer versions of MySQL, as well as a number of other improvements, which are only available through the CVS repository.
