Connections are +automatically cleaned up if they are garbage collected. All requests +are synchronous. + +Any readable lisp value can be stored as a value in EmacSQL, including +numbers, strings, symbols, lists, vectors, and closures. EmacSQL has +no concept of "TEXT" values; it's all just lisp objects. The lisp +object nil corresponds 1:1 with NULL in the database. |
