Yes, me 2 last year. But since I rarely have any use for blocking
play, I didn't bother to report a bug back then :-/ Ralf Fassel on c.l.t

ANNOUNCE: ADB and ADBSQL pure-tcl database engine for Tcl/Tk by
Roalt Aalmoes
ADB together with the MySQL database connectivity module adbsql are a
Tcl/Tk package useful for Tcl/Tk programmers that want to store their
data in a database-kind of way with tables and fields.
Two (optional) features of ADB that may make it worthwhile for you:
* Writing the database as XML output and later of course the ability
to read it.
* Connecting directly to a MySQL database.
The fun part of ADB is that you can either use it as a full pure tcl
library, or you can use these advanced features that require
additional packages.
Both modules are released under open source LGPL or BSD licenses (your
pick)
More information:

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his wly reports on the Wikis:
The Wiki gnomes are diligently unearthing old pages - what gems
they turn up! Let us start the summary rightaway.
Tiny games and demos
- Once you have a basic design, it is easy to change
the theme and come up with a different looking application.
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/4801> is an example
- But even if you have a good basic design, it pays to pay
attention to some details. For instance to get a better
performance: <http:/wiki.tcl.tk/8711>
- Chess is a difficult game to learn and to play well.
But that is not the point: in just a few lines of code
you can have a GUI and play against some unseen opponent:
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/8708>
- Translating human languages ... that (once?) elusive goal of
artificial intelligence. With some aid from a human a computer
_can_ come a long way - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/11458>
Web initiatives
- A new Tcl module for apache - wtcl - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18117>
It promises to be simple.
- A new fun project on a related subject: what would be needed
for a "Tcl on Rails"? <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18088>. With a lively
discussion of all imaginable details.
Faits divers
- References to data and garbage collection ... done as an
extension ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/11090> for gourmets who
appreciate technical details.
- Remember the chemical periodic system from your schooldays? Well,
here it is in a neat Tcl program: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18111>
(With a few worthy tips on font management)
Everything Tcl-related you want is probably one or two clicks away in these
pages:
The "Welcome to comp.lang.tcl" message by Andreas Kupries
http://www.purl.org/net/tcl-welcome
comp.lang.tcl is a crucial resource for Tcl practitioners.
An interesting perspective on its traffic appears at
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/about
The Tcl Developer Site is Tcl's "home base".
http://www.tcl.tk
Larry Virden maintains a comp.lang.tcl FAQ launcher.
http://www.purl.org/NET/Tcl-FAQ/
The Tcl Developer Xchange is a highly organized resource center
of documents and software with provisions for individuals to
maintain references to their own software:
http://www.tcl.tk/resource/
The TDX sponsor, ActiveState, also keeps info to convince your
boss Tcl is a good thing
http://www.tcl.tk/scripting/
The Tcl'ers Wiki is a huge, dynamic, collaboratively edited repository
of documentation, examples, tutorials and pontifications on all things
Tcl.
http://wiki.tcl.tk/0
For the ideal overview of the topics about Tcl most likely to
interest a newcomer, see "Arts and Crafts ..."
http://wiki.tcl.tk/969
There's also a high-quality Wikibook on Tcl:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Tcl
ActiveState maintains binaries distribution and development tools
http://www.activestate.com/Tcl
along with a Cookbook of Tcl recipes
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Tcl
"La Gazette du Técleux" is an important monthly publication.
http://wfr.tcl.tk/1159
deli.cio.us presents an intriguing approach to reference commentary.
It already aggregates quite a bit of Tcl intelligence.
http://del.icio.us/tag/tcl
Cameron Laird tracks several Tcl/Tk references of interest (but
needs to validate many of the links).
http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/
Years ago, Cetus Links maintained a Tcl/Tk page with verified links
http://www.cetus-links.org/oo_tcl_tk.html
"Yahoo! Groups" archives comp.lang.tcl.announce posts--even
though clta itself is dormant.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tcl_announce/
We're working on more useful archives of past installments. In the
meantime, an alternative is
http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=...p=comp.lang.tcl
Suggestions/corrections for next w's posting are always welcome.
