Note:
MySQL versions prior to 4.1.1 should be run in ANSI mode to work with Common SQL. That is,
mysqld
must be started with
--ansi
or the
ansi
option must appear in the
[mysqld]
section of its configuration file.
Note:
To use PostgreSQL on any non-Microsoft Windows platform, LispWorks/Common SQL requires PostgreSQL version >= 8.x built with
--enable-thread-safety
.
