Thread: tcl bindings for 8.0
The README from 8.0-beta3 says "This distribution also contains several language bindings, including C and Tcl" but I'm not finding libpgtcl being built, nor can I find a way to tell it to. I see pgtcl is on http://gborg.postgresql.org, so this mean that the README is out of date and I need to download a separate piece? Does it currently work with beta3 given that the proejct says "Enhancements will include converting all commands to use Tcl 8-style objects"?

I was reading that as PostgreSQL 8 at first. Still, my question stands. Is libpgtcl in 8.0-beta3 and I'm missing it or do I need to download?

The README for 8.0beta3 is wrong on Tcl and I sent in a patch so it should be fixed in a future release. Tcl is now unbundled, so if you want to write client apps in Tcl that talk to PostgreSQL, visit gborg.postgresql.org and take a look. There are currently at least 3 Tcl interfaces there. I have tested my two, pgin.tcl-2.1.0 and pgintclng-1.5.1, talking to a PostgreSQL-8.0beta3 server (on Linux only) and both passed my test suite.
