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.
