I wrote my own PostgreSQL interface using only Tcl about 4 years ago, to use on Windows and other platforms. It was kind of slow (mostly for big result sets), so once I found the DLLs available, I used those instead. But I've continue to work on it. I recently added MD5 authentication and pg_execute. Would this be something to put on gborg.postgresql.org? Not to compete with the libpgtcl effort. Maybe a "libpgtcl lite". It might be useful for smaller apps in Tcl where you don't have or can't be bothered to get libpq and libpgtcl. Would this be a useful addition to the available PostgreSQL interfaces?
