Hey, dude, it's pretty trivial from Common Lisp, too!!
If you're using PostgreSQL, just grab Eric Marsden's "pg.lisp"
from <URL:http://www.chez.com/emarsden/downloads/> and you
can write stuff like this:

	 > (with-pg-connection (conn "my_data" "www")
	     (let* ((query "SELECT first, last, email FROM contact LIMIT 4")
		    (result (pg-exec conn query)))
	       (pg-result result :tuples)))

	 (("Joe" "Blow" "joeb@nowhere.com")
	  ("Betty" "Boop" NIL)
	  ("Sally" "Summers" "summergirl@example.domain")
	  ("Bart" "Ludd" NIL))
	 > 

If you're using MySQL or some other database, go look at
<URL:http://www.cliki.net/Database>. There's lots of free
stuff available...
