Re: Migrating from UFFI to CFFI

Hello Victor,

Actually the work is done and CLSQL supports running over UFFI or CFFI.  
We also ran into some cases where UFFI was not as performant or had 
errors and have been running under CFFI in production sites for quite 
some time.  The solution outlined below requires the CFFI-UFFI-COMPAT 
library (quicklisp).

To enable CFFI you must require :clsql-cffi before any of the specific 
backends.  Once that is done, you may require :clsql-odbc etc.
Oddly, I notice that we are not depending on CFFI-UFFI-COMPAT (which is 
probably a bug), so you may have to depend on that separately.  
Something like `:depend-on '(:cffi-uffi-compat :clsql-cffi :clsql-odbc)` 
in your asd should get you going using CFFI.  Please do report any bugs 
or troubles you experience.

Cheers and hope this helps,
