It is mostly but not entirely command-compatible with libpgtcl, and should run everywhere Tcl runs with no compilation needed. For more information see: http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgintcl/ The current release 1.3.9 is available for download. Before you ask, it does not yet work with PGAccess. When there is a stable, working version of PGAccess, I will provide a patch to PGAccess for it. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread

We could always use some more Tcl coders. But in regards to the "README.PgAccess" file included in the pgintcl download and the "known issues" with PgAccess and pgin.tcl : 1. Loading - easy, like you said 2. Connecting - easy, except your code will break UDS and force TCP/IP 3. Import/Export - easy if you force the wizard when you decide to use pgin.tcl, as the wizard uses SELECT/INSERT vs. the old COPY Given that #2 and #3 would change behavior of PgAccess, I would recommend that the use of any patch for pgin.tcl be available as a command-line option. This way, users could specify whether they want to use libpgtcl or pgin.tcl, and we could code around it where necessary. --Chris -- Chris Maj <cmaj_hat_freedomcorpse_hot_info> 0xC0051F6A 5EB8 2035 F07B 3B09 5A31 7C09 196F 4126 C005 1F6A ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread
