Functional Data Manipulation Language (FDML)
-
+ The functional data manipulation interface provided by &clsql;
+ includes functions for inserting, updating and deleting records
+ in existing database tables and executing SQL queries and
+ statements with the results of queries returned as Lisp types.
+ SQL statements expressed as strings may be executed with the
+ query and
+ execute-command
+ functions. The select function, on
+ the other hand, allows for the construction of queries in Lisp
+ using the symbolic SQL syntax. Finally, iterative manipulation
+ of query results is supported by do-query, map-query and an
+ extended clause for the loop macro.
