anardb

Introduction

Anardb provides persistent classes, which can have slots indexed in hash-tables, and the ability to perform ACID transactions on them from multiple processes simultaneously.

It requires UN*X filesystem semantics and has been tested on Allegro x86 but should be portable to SBCL, etc.

Anardb has not been deployed in production and it is likely that there are bugs.
