*default-database-type*'s problem and patch

Hi,

When I eval (create-database '(...)) without specifying :database-type,
I got a condition like following:

There is no applicable method for the generic function
 #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION CLSQL-SYS:DATABASE-CREATE (1)>
when called with arguments
 ((NIL "test4" "root" "touch724831") NIL).
  [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

I checked clsql's code and found the default value of database-type
in create-database, destroy-database, probe-database and
list-database are nil.

It doesn't conform to the document. I think the default values
should be *default-database-type*.

The attachment is my patch.

Thanks,
Desmond

Are join slots read-only?

Are CLSQL join slots (:db-type :join) intended to only retrieve
relationships?

I was rather puzzled when I tried setf on a join slot and got nothing in
the database. Either of the following has to be true:

1. I haven't read the documentation carefully enough and I'm just asking
silly FAQs.

2. The documentations and examples do not show it, but the functionality
is there. I just don't know how to use it.

3. Functionality isn't there and it's waiting for someone to implement
it.

4. It is impossible to implement it.

I'm tending towards (3).

How do people deal with updating relations with CLSQL? Do you manage
them manually? Do you specify :writers on join slots? Any other
solutions?

unit tests for time.lisp

Hello,

I have created some unit tests for the time.lisp file.
Is there a preferred format or manner in which I should submit the
tests I created?

Thank you,
Ross

Thank you. Unit tests are very nice to receive.

Unified diff would be the best way. I imagine the changes are likely
limited to the tests/tests-time.lisp file.

Re: unit tests for time.lisp

Hello,

I am sorry it took me so long to get around to sending you the diffs.
The tests are in tests/tests-time.lisp and I added a macro
'assert-error' into tests/util.lisp

Both are attached.

Thank you,
Ross

Naming Conventions?

Does anyone have any naming conventions they would care to share? (For
models, slots, etc?). I'm looking to standardize my own projects as
the naming seems to be getting rather ad hoc.
