Ok,

I don't want to annoy anybody, but again: where is the documentation of
the tcl-api of postgres ?

Bye, Carsten

In a chapter in the Programmer's Guide, "pgtcl - TCL Binding Library".

So... how is the old Tcl API getting along?  Anyone going to do a
rewrite for 8.something-modern?

Thankyou,

Ok, let's rephrase this - does anyone mind if *I* hack on it some?  Is
it likely someone will have time to review my changes and commit them?

Go for it!  I don't think the tcl code has anyone particularly caring
for it at the moment.  If you want to step up and fill the gap, more
power to you.

If you're thinking of API changes as opposed to just bug fixes, I'd
suggest posting proposals on pginterfaces before you go too far with
implementation.

Ok, I will try to do what I can.  I don't have a whole lot of time,
though.

Ok, for starters, here is a patch which implements a basic move to the
Obj API.  I intend to start delving deeper, so I wanted to post this
before I break anything;-)
