libtclpq - tcl postgresql interface library v1.0

What it is

A quick/experimental Swig-generated hack with itcl wrapper classes to permit:

asynchronous execution of postgresql commands
cancellation of commands in progress.

Documentation

None, only the test.tcl file. Wrapper class source is pretty copiously documented.

Installation

several options: libtclpq.so provided may work for you OR, to work from the Swig generated on my machine: touch tclpq_wrap.c; make libtclpq.so; OR, if you have Swig installed, edit the Makefile and set PQDIR make clean all

It's not set up to reside in any system directory (qv. Bug #2)

Where

gzipped tar:: ftp://field.medicine.adelaide.edu.au/pub/libtclpq/libtclpq.tgz
Swig is at:: http://www.swig.org/
Postgresql is at:: http://www.postgresql.org/

Bugs

Doesn't support COPY operations.
Haven't made a tcl package interface for it.

Tested with/under

postgresql 6.4.2
itcl 3.0 / tcl 8.0
glibc2.1 under Linux 2.2.9 (debian)
Swig 1.1p5-2 (debian)
