Database Lisp programming on Linux

Phill O'Flynn

I'm used to windows programming and want to migrate to linux programming.

Using lisp. is there a way to access a database backend? (namely mysql).

If I write a program in another language, can I start the executable, set a few parameters (ie. connection settings), execute a query and read results.

I did ask the question a few years ago. But I thought I would ask again to see if anyone had actually done it.

There is a great Lisp interface for MySQL, written by Daniel Marcotte ...
it is a TX (C++) module which can be loaded into BricsCAD, both Windows and Linux versions are available.
You should find it here in the forum somewhere.
Many greetings !

Hi Torsten.

I can't find it. I found something for bricscad v12 and sqlite. and it appears to be C#. Is this what you are referring to?

Torsten Moses

Yes, it is the interface for sqlite

I assumed, Daniel had used C++, and I had in mind that this plugin would also work under Linux (based on BRX + TX interfaces).
You might ask Dan in that forum thread about this ?
Many greetings !

I can confirm SQLiteLspV12x32.lrx for V12 worked as expected but Daniel still needs to add effort for upgrades.
