New asynchronous tcl postgresql interface

Hi,

I think this is possibly a better alternative to the shipped tcl interface.

libtclpq - tcl postgresql interface library v1.0       Colin McCormack       Fri Jul 23 12:00:13 EST 1999

What it is:
----------
A quick/experimental Swig-generated hackwith 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/

Bugs:
----
1) Doesn't support COPY operations.
2) 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)
 


Homepage:
--------
There isn't one, yet.  If I put one up, it'll be       http://field.medicine.adelaide.edu.au/~colin/libtclpq/
