Hi, Anton/Mike: Thanks for the reference to SchemeQL and hibernate. I
just looked at the latter and it seems like a couple other
(code-generation, mapping based tools) we've attempted to use and
abandoned (for various reasons) - it does seem to contain certain
features that others didn't.  Interestingly, our home-grown solution
uses similar techniques but uses Lisp macros to achieve some of this,
but of course, we've suffered thru the lack of adequate support in
Lisp for threads, and more recently .. adequate support for multiple
cpu's (Allegro doesn't even in v6 for example :).
