[postmodern-devel] Tutorials, examples, and best practices

Are there any collections of tutorials, examples, and/or best practices for Postmodern? For instance, I have a macro to wrap database operations: (defmacro with-test-database (&rest body) `(with-connection (list +test-database-name+ +test-database-user+ +test-database-password+ "localhost" :pooled-p t) ,@body)) Obviously it needs some transaction support as well. Do other people use it this way? What are your most useful tips and tricks? Also, it took me some time fiddling around to get :insert-into to work correctly. It makes sense to me now, but a detailed example would have helped. I'm about to write some production code against a mid-sized, fully normalized database. Any lessons learned in those kinds of environments would be of interest. Thanks, Patrick

It is probably too basic for you, but you might find something useful at https://sites.google.com/site/sabraonthehill/postmodern-examples It is mostly just notes that I put together for someone on my staff. Cheers, Sabra On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 6:48 PM, Patrick May <patrick.may@mac.com> wrote:

Sabra, Thanks, that's great stuff! Even simple examples showing how others use the package are valuable, and yours are far more detailed than I expected. Thanks again, Patrick On Nov 19, 2012, at 2:04 AM, Sabra Crolleton <sabra.crolleton@gmail.com> wrote:

i'm not sure you'll find many things for direct copy-pasting, but here's an sql abstraction layer that has a postgresql backend: http://dwim.hu/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=HEAD%20hu.dwim.rdbms;a=headblob;f=/so... -- attila Notice the erosion of your (digital) freedom, and do something about it!

Attila, Any comments about things you discovered while writing or using this code? Cheers, Sabra On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 5:50 AM, Attila Lendvai <attila.lendvai@gmail.com>wrote:
