Data Table

A Common Lisp library providing a data-table data-structure that has rows of data and column names and types

• reading/writing values by row/column or index
• combining data-tables as overlapping square regions
• pulling sub tables from a data table
• comparing data from two data-tables
• conversion from data-tables of strings into data-tables of lisp-values, automatically guessing types if necessary
• converting from / two other common-lisp data-structures (lists of alists/plists)

Goals

• easier interaction with databases by having a common data-structure that can be queried and inserted
• generating complex reports that contain multiple sections on a single spreadsheet of data
• make getting/setting values anywhere in the results easier
