DESCRIPTION

This package emulates the 'pgtcl' library shipped with the postgreSQL official distribution. It is provided as a Pure Tcl drop in replacement for the binary pgtcl. Any program using the pgtcl library should work as well by replacing

load libpgtcl.so (or "load libpgtcl.dll", etc...)

with

package require pgtcl

See PGTcl command Command Reference Information from the PostgreSQL Interactive Documentation for detailed documentation.

The emulation has been tested successfully with the "pgaccess" program (version 0.98.8) included in the postgreSQL distribution (latest version available at http://www.pgaccess.org).
The crypt package is required if you need to establish a connection with a server that ask for a secured authentication. This package is also available in pure Tcl.
