Here's a weird one, but I'm not afraid to ask: I'm building an application that queries a database for reports, and then lets the user manipulate the data (filter, sort, diff with older copies of the same report [AKA "revisions"]). The revisions feature has made it necessary to run the SELECT only once, and manipulate the data offline (i.e. not re-query the same data). This means I need to either save the initial result set in a temp table, or re-implement WHERE and ORDER BY in a lispy way that can act on a list of CLOS entity objects.
Now the question: does anyone know of an already existing library that translates SELECT statements into lisp FIND and SORT calls? Or do I need to roll my own? Or am I a fool for not going the temp table route? Carlos _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
