Make a directory to put your database store in. (This is called the
environment in Sleepycat terminology.) That's all you need to set up
your store! We'll assume in this tutorial you created a folder
testdb
in the current directory.
Assuming you've managed to install Elephant properly,
* (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant)
will load the relevant files.
* (use-package "ELE")
will make all the necessary symbols available.
To make your store available to Lisp, do
* (open-store "testdb") => #<STORE-CONTROLLER {49252F75}>
When you're done with your session, don't forget to
* (close-store) => NIL
Also there is a convenience macro with-open-store
.
