SQL library in LispWorks has OO ORM stuff. one can define def-view-class,
and it will automatically generate table definitions, and will allow to do
fancy queries. def-view-class has lotsa stuff, including type
specifications, but surprisingly no ON DELETE CASCADE and ON DELETE
RESTRICT. i wonder why didn't they include it, since without it whole idea
with def-view-class becomes useless -- surely one can build database
definition himself (although Lisp programmers might be more efficient
writting Lisp def-view-class code rather than SQL definitions), but then
he'll need to synchonize def-view-class definitions with SQL table
definitions, that is not good..
