[comp.databases] LISP and Databases

steve@hsvaic.boeing.com (Steve Tanner) (06/12/91)

I would very much like to hear from anyone with experience in
interfacing a LISP application with an off-the-shelf database
(specifically ORACLE on a mainframe, but other experiences are
welcomed), in which the LISP application can read/write data from/to
the database, especially over a network.  What were the seminal
issues/problems that needed to be solved?  Specifically:

1) How was the communication managed between the LISP application and
   the database?  

2) Real world recommendations, success stories and/or horror stories
   are of special interest.

You may reply privately via e-mail unless you consider it appropriate
for the net, and if there is interest, I will summarize.

Thanks to all who reply.
