Elephant is an object database for Common Lisp. It supports storing CLOS objects and most lisp primitives, and access to BTrees. It uses Sleepycat / Berkeley DB, a widely-distributed embedded database; many unix systems have it installed by default. Sleepycat is server-less, ACID compliant, transactional, process and thread safe, and fast relative to relational databases; hopefully Elephant inherits these properties.
Version 0.9.0 is now released. ASDF install should work but problems have been reported against it.
Version 0.9.1+ will have support for a back-end repository using Postmodern which is about twice as fast the the generic CL-SQL backend.
Elephant has an extensive manual written by Ian Eslick, who has done most of the recent developement.
