--------------------------------------------------------------------- NAME Postgres_pqatcl - Postgres access for Tcl/Tk --------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Postgres_pqatcl is a Tcl/Tk extension to access Postgres95 databases with embedded SQL and Postgres 4.2 databases with embedded Postquel. The extension is split into four parts: * libpqatcl.so - a shared library to load the low level communication interface into a Tcl interpreter. The commands provide the handling of the frontend-/backend- protocol on an asynchronous TCP/IP channel. * sqlpqa.tcl - Tcl procedures that wrap around the low level interface commands of libpqatcl.so and provide embedded SQL for Postgres95 databases. * epqpqa.tcl - Tcl procedures that wrap around the low level interface commands of libpqatcl.so and provide embedded Postquel for Postgres V4.2 databases. * libbetcl.tar - Postgres95 extension for Tcl script support in the database backend. Please read README.libbetcl for more information. REQUIREMENTS * Postgres DBMS either Postgres95 or V 4.2. * Tcl7.5p1/Tk4.1p1 INSTALLATION Unpack the archive and change into the toplevel directory. zcat Postgres_pqatcl-1.0.tar.gz | tar xvf - cd Postgres_pqatcl-1.0 Edit the toplevel Imakefile and change the installation path's and the manpage suffix to match your installation. Create the Makefiles and build the library. Pardon me that this is still under control of imake(1). Up to now I'm not that familiar with autoconf(1) to push the shared lib build into it. xmkmf make Makefiles make Install the extension. The following will install libpqatcl.so, sqlpqa.tcl and epqpqa.tcl in the PQATCL_LIBDIR from the Imakefile. The manpages get installed in PQATCL_MANPATH. make install make install.man It's up to you to create a new package index in the Tcl library directory. Since every site might have another structure for extensions and the package structure itself is subject of discussion and change right now, I don't provide any automatism for this. Access your database. BUGS / COMMENTS Any bug reports, fixes, enhancements, comments and ideas are welcome. Please send them to wieck@sapserv.debis.de (Jan Wieck)
