Hi,
I think this is possibly a better alternative to the shipped tcl interface.
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/
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/
Manifest:
--------
README This file
Makefile
tclpq.h Swig source file
tclpq_wrap.c Swig output file
libtclpq.so Interface library derived from above
tclpq_wrap.doc Swig generated documentation
pgConnection.tcl Wrapper for postgresql connection
pgResult.tcl Wrapper for pg_result type
test.tcl Sample file generating
