|
|
|
||
|
|
This is the 1.1.3 source distribution of the driver for Tcl
|
||
|
|
Database Connectivity (TDBC) to access Postgres databases. TDBC and
|
||
|
|
its drivers are available from a Fossil version control repository
|
||
|
|
at http://tdbc.tcl.tk/

1. Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains the source code, documentation, and test
|
||
|
|
scripts for the Postgres driver for Tcl Database Connectivity. This
|
||
|
|
module, plus TDBC itself, allow you to access Postgres databases using
|
||
|
|
a standard application programming interface (API) from a Tcl script.
|
||
|
|
This module is also available from http://tdbc.tcl.tk along with the
|
||
|
|
source code of TDBC itself. A bug database and Wiki are available at
|
||
|
|
the same location.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tdbc::postgres is a freely-available open source package. You can do
|
||
|
|
virtually anything you like with it, such as modifying it,
|
||
|
|
redistributing it, and selling it either in whole or in part. See the
|
||
|
|
file "license.terms" for complete information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Compilation and Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module follows the general configuration and installation
|
||
|
|
rules described in the README file for tdbc. Prior to running
|
||
|
|
'configure', you should ensure that the directory that contains
|
||
|
|
the Postgres executables (specifically, pg_config) is on the PATH.
|
||
|
|
pg_config, in turn, will locate the necessary #include files and
|
||
|
|
libraries to build the module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE THAT ON WINDOWS, THE DLL's FOR THE POSTGRES LIBRARY MUST BE ON
|
||
|
|
THE PATH AT RUNTIME.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 'doc' subdirectory in this release contains a set of reference
|
||
|
|
manual entries for tdbc::postgres. Files with an extension '.n' are
|
||
|
|
for Tcl classes and commands; files with an extension '.3' are for C
|
||
|
|
library functions. The file, 'doc/tdbcpostgres.n' gives an overview,
|
||
|
|
listing the classes and functions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
