This seems to be caused by the type declarations in fetch-row (in oracle-sql.lisp); if I comment them all out I can connect and fetch data happily (in a very limited test).

Is this the same problem as http://lists.b9.com/pipermail/clsql/2008-April/001576.html

It seems so.

[ and is this a cl-sql-oracle problem or a cl-uffi problem? ]

I don't know. I don't have an Oracle system for testing so I'm unable to further characterize the issue. I do know those those type declarations for SBCL's FFI can be crucial to have in place or performance can be quite impacted. Kevin
