Dear,
First of all thank you for splitting off bknr-datastore. Whilst playing around with it, some questions arose.
Searching Intervals: Is there some sort of index or a common idiom to search for all objects in which a specified property's value lies within a certain interval? For instance: listing/mapping over all widgets which have been created between monday and wednesday. Or all exams of a particular pupil which were scored between 35 and 56. Or should I create filters based on the index-mapvalues and index-values? Sorting: Does an index's index-reader (for instance a string-unique-index (but I'd like to know for others as well)) guarantee something with respect to the order in which the results are mapped/listed? If not: is there some idiom to receive a sorted list or should I create a custom index to limit the amount of sorting?
Condition Signaled: Whenever I restart my lisp image in slime and open a previously used store, I receive an invalid-store-random-state in SBCL 1.0.37. Two meaningful restarts are given, being initialize-store-random-state and ignore-store-random-state. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong or is this a bug of some sort?
Thank you,
mad
