cl-fbclient

Common Lisp library for working with firebird databases

Library is a set of classes and methods for working with firebird databases. Basic classes:

• fb-database
• fb-transaction
• fb-statement
• fb-error

Supported SQL-vars types:

• float
• double
• integer
• decimal(numeric)
• varchar
• timestamp
• BLOB

Examples:

First

(require 'cl-fbclient)

;; create an instance of the database and automatically connect to the database
(defparameter *db* (make-instance 'cl-fbclient:fb-database
  				   :path "/path-to-db/db-file.fdb"))
             
;; query that returns no value
;; (transaction will be created, started and commited automatically)
(cl-fbclient:fb-noresult-query *db* "INSERT INTO T1(A1,A2) VALUES(121, 42)")

;; to query and write results to the list
;; (transaction will be created, started and commited automatically)
(cl-fbclient:fb-query-fetch-all *db* "SELECT * FROM t1")

;; disconnecting from DB
(cl-fbclient:fb-disconnect *db*)

Second(easier)

(require 'cl-fbclient)

(cl-fbclient:fb-with-database (DB :path "/path-to-db/db-file.fdb")
    (cl-fbclient:fb-with-transaction (DB TR)
     	(cl-fbclient:fb-query "SELECT * FROM T1" :tr TR)
        (cl-fbclient:fb-query "INSERT INTO T1(A1,A2) VALUES(121, 42)" :tr TR)
        (cl-fbclient:fb-query "SELECT * FROM T1" :tr TR)))

Third(even easier)

(require 'cl-fbclient)

(cl-fbclient:fb-with-database (DB :path "/path-to-db/db-file.fdb")
     (cl-fbclient:fb-query "SELECT * FROM T1" :db DB)
     (cl-fbclient:fb-query "INSERT INTO T1(A1,A2) VALUES(121, 42)" :db DB)
     (cl-fbclient:fb-query "SELECT * FROM T1" :db DB))

Tested on:

• SBCL(ubuntu)
• CLISP(ubuntu)
• SBCL-win32-threads (by akovalenko). (WindowsXP)
