On Windows10/64, I installed CCL Lisp 1.11, downloaded the sqlite3.dll, then installed quicklisp and cl-sql. I get an error in the context of (german) special characters. This is what I tried in the Emacs Slime Repl:
(clsql:connect '("C:/users/user/test.sqlite")
:database-type :sqlite3
:encoding 'utf-8)
(clsql:execute-command "create table name (name)")
(clsql:execute-command "insert into name values ('Übermaß')")
(format t "~A" (clsql:query "select * from name") )
Executing the last line invokes the debugger:
Cannot allocate a STRING with NIL elements.
Objects of type STRING can can have at most
16777215 elements in this implementation.
[Condition of type CCL::VECTOR-SIZE-LIMITATION] ...

My Emacs .init.el is configured to use UTF-8:
(set-language-environment "utf-8")
(setq inferior-lisp-program "C:/users/user/bin/ccl-1.11/wx86cl.exe -K utf-8")
(setq slime-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8)
If I try to create the .sqlite DB File without the UTF-8 Encoding, inserting and selecting data works, but the special characters are not displayed correctly.
