Hello, I would like to apply for the hosting of a project. My Name is Roland Averkamp from Freiburg, Germany. Currently I am the only project member. The name of the project is plain-odbc. The project is an ODBC interface for clisp. It should become a simple, yet powerful lisp odbc interface, without things like special reader syntax for sql, mapping of clos objects to database tables ... I have a version that works, it supports queries, updates, stored procedure calls with in and out parameters. Working with Oracle, SQL-Server and MS-ACCESS on Windows is possible. Currently I am trying to get it running under Linux X86 with unixodbc and MySQL. Since I am using the lower layer of Paul Meurers sqlodbc module and that worked with clisp and cmucl, unixodbc, MySQL and PostgreSQL I do not expect to much problems. The API could be improved, but I thought I make it available now, before I make up my mind about further changes. If you have a better suggestion for a name, please tell me.
The low level parts of the system consists of code from Paul Meurers sqlodbc module. The upper layer was written by me. Paul Meurer used for his code a license of his own design. I intend to license my code under the BSD license, but I am flexible concerning licensing. Paul Meurer does not know that his code is used in the project. I hope his license is not a problem. I attached the license file to the mail.
Regards Roland Averkamp
