------------- -Introduction ------------- - -Elephant is an object database for Common Lisp. It supports -storing CLOS objects and most lisp primitives, and access to -BTrees. It uses Sleepycat / Berkeley DB, a -widely-distributed embedded database; many unix systems have -it installed by default. Sleepycat is server-less, ACID -compliant, transactional, process and thread safe, and fast -relative to relational databases; hopefully Elephant -inherits these properties. - -Goals: - -* Transparency: most Lisp values are easy to persist without -much effort or special syntax. Talk to the DB with Lisp -code, not SQL or another domain-specific language. No -additional server to run. - -* Safety: ACID, transactions. Concurrent with good -multi-user and -thread semantics / isolation, locking and -deadlock detection. - -* Simplicity: be a small library with few surprises for the -programmer. Lisp and Berkeley DB together are an excellent -substrate, try to use their features as much as possible. - -* Performance: leverage Sleepycat performance and -reliability. In addition to fast concurrent / transactional -modes, elephant will (eventually) offer an accellerated -single-user mode. - -Join the Elephant mailing lists to ask your questions and -receive updates. They're on the Elephant website +Detailed information on Elephant with an introduction, supported platforms, +latest news and documentation can be found at:
