yeah well, debian and Postgres YUM packagers are doing a good job at that, other than that I know nothing about the system where pgloader is going to be invoked

shipping a /usr/bin/pgloader application from a CL build system sometimes feels like being a pioneer, or maybe doing it wrong

i understand! Anyways, i need to log out and (invoke-restart #'perform-work)

dim: an idea that's been following me everytime I see pgloader is of turning it into general (if mostly simple) ETL tool
20:39:43
dim
yeah it's kind of a specialized ETL already, but going generic would turn it into a very different beast, I'm not sure I want to go there. I've done lots of ETL or ELT work in the past, and always with on-purpose tooling hacked around specific needs, never with “general purpose ELT solutions”, I don't believe in those
20:59:01
p_l
dim: well, the only non - general thing from my usage is that pgloader only supports postgres as target

In LOOP, I want a value calculated every iteration, via something like FOR or WITH, so that UNTIL can see it. What's the appropriate keyword to use there?

I have a very simple class, of which many instances are created. Can using a struct instead significantly reduce the memory footprint of these instances? How can I find out the difference (apart from creating loads of instances and comparing how much memory usage the OS sees, that is)?

schweers: Plus, a class instance probably needs some indication of the state the class was in when the instance was created, so that instances can be updated when the class changes.

make a Lisp image with 10e6 class instances, measure the OS memory footprint; do the same with 10e6 structs, and then with 10e6 structs allocated as vectors

beach: in case you meant my small that the class has few slots, then yes, that is the case.

I have another question: has anyone used lparallel? I don’t yet have hard evidence on this, but it seems to me, that a huge amount of memory is not freed, despite calling END-KERNEL.
