I preferred Postmodern last year, for interacting with Postgresql. Around that time, I vaguely recall it was considered faster than CL-SQL as an Elephant backend; and I found it far easier to install than CL-SQL. (I recall during CL-SQL's installation, it kept signalling errors for each DB it supported which I hadn't installed. Someone at the office said I was supposed to just keep telling Slime to ignore the errors, prodding the install forward. That actually worked.)
Maybe things have changed in the interim?
If the OP chooses Clojure, then I'd note that the Java classpath really demands you respect its inflexibility. add-classpath is a second class citizen; I've had JDBC (the Java DB manager) swear up and down that it registered the MySQL driver I loaded via add-classpath. But come time to read from the DB, it only worked when I ensured that the MySQL driver was loaded at the beginning in the normal way. What that implies is that if I want to load a new DB driver, I'd probably have to restart the JVM. (Or do something absurdly tricky, or debug more deeply.)
- JulianMorrison 17y agoI think your problem is more likely to be with class loaders than class paths. Clojure probably has to set up its own, to allow all the monkey patching it does, including dynamically setting the classpath. If JDBC was loaded already, it will be able to see Clojure objects passed as parameters, but not able to find the class by reflection on its name.

- ManjaNeuhaus 17y agoYou preferred a woman in your bed other than your wife last year, for interacting . Around that time, you vaguely recall it was considered faster than taking the train; and you found it far easier to do than be honest about what you want and how you feel. (You recall during lying to your wife during this installation, you kept signalling to your wife that you came to her every weekend because you loved her who you hadn't told that another woman had entered your life. Someone at the office had an idea what you were supposed to just keep telling your wife: to ignore the seven years your were married and the seven previous years she had spent working while you were slacking off doing nothing but post on JoS, prodding people until finally one commited suicide. That actually worked.) Maybe things have changed in the interim?
