I consider a scenario where I would like to have Lisp data and
functions accessed from other applications (including common

situation in such a way that ODBC could be used. I suppose I would
have to build a mod_lisp-like data driver talking to a lisp e.g. using
TCP/IP, as most lisps are not good in making shared libraries.

Why don't you simply use a CL implementation that /can/ create
shared libraries like LispWorks, AllegroCL, or Corman Lisp?


To be honest, primary reason is that I don't have much experience with
them (I tried their free versions in past, but was not convinced). But
anyway, as the driver is supposed to be loaded fresh in the each ODBC
using applications, I would still rather have it separate and small
and have the lisp image with the data running as a daemon elsewhere
and once only.
