Hi David,

Your project looks interesting.

The easiest license is something like the MIT or BSD ones; if you want to be more LGPL, then you'll probably want the LLGPL that Franz first used.

In order to set up a project, you'll need an account. In order to get an account, you'll need to send us you PGP public key (use  gpg --armor --export gwking@metabang.com to output it (only don't use my e-mail address! <smile>)). You'll also need a project name (it reminds a tiny bit of parenscript so maybe you could play with something like sqlscript).

HTH,

Hi,
My name is David Creelman and I've been working on a personal lisp project (which I'm having trouble giving a name...) that I'd like to open source.
Could you perhaps recommend a lisp friendly open source licence to me?
The project is not quite finished, but can already produce some useful outputs.

So, what does it do?

At the moment I can type the following in lisp :-

(defproc mysqlproc ()
 (setv j 23.2)
(sprint j)
 (if (< j 0) (print j)))

Which will 'compile' to the following MSSQL :-

create procedure mysqlproc as
begin
  declare @j decimal(3,2)
  set @j = 23.2
  print @j
  if @j < 0
  print @j
end

So, as you can see, it's in it's early days and it is also a learning test bed on lisp for me.

My plan is firstly to support most of the important data manipulation commands (select/insert/update) and then maybe some data definition concepts (create/alter/drop table), though I may look at how to integrate this into clsql, which I think does this kind of thing.

I'm also going to get it to work with Oracle stored procs. If I'm feeling very ambitious I may end up making it work on sqlite (by making it generate executable code rather than stored procs) and a simple lisp based database as well.

Could you let me know if/when it would be possible to set up a place for this on common-lisp.net?

Thanks for your time.

Regards
David
