Oracle Corporation is the home page for Oracle Corporation, one of the leaders in the RDBMS field.
LV: Note that Oracle is now at version 11. Somewhere around version 10, they quit shipping a tcl component, but apparently still have some vestiges of tcl references in some of the materials. This is going to go away...
escargo 2007-08-21: The issue is muddied somewhat because Oracle also has a Transaction Control Language (so it's also abbreviated as TCL). (See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/static.htm#BABICCHJ ).
EMJ Well, no it doesn't, really. That reference is only a short note about the statements used to control transactions in SQL or PL/SQL, i.e. transaction control language with no capitals! There is no specific language involved. I consider the section heading Transaction Control Language (TCL) Statements to be a documentation bug and I intend to raise it as such - the abbreviation should not be there. This is the only such use of it in the entire Oracle documentation set.
escargo: I certainly don't mind if it's clarified, but searching through Oracle on-line docs for the right Tcl gets just a little harder when there is a clash like that.

Description: An AOLserver/ORACLE based Tcl web application that provides
users with forums and other web based applications.
The ArsDigita Community System (ACS) is an database backed web
collaboration tool originally written for Oracle and also ported
to InterBase DBMS, release 4.0, available on Linux at no charge.
ACS operates on top of AOLServer, a free HTTP server.
Now includes the source for the Oracle driver as well as the
nscache, nsrewrite, and nssha1 modules.
Source is available and binaries for Redhat Linux and Solaris
are available. A Windows version is being developed.
Information regarding exporting of Tcl wrappers for OpenLDAP compliant
libraries is available on arsdigita, with more info and code on
larsdigita.
The Ybos web page has new ArsDigita modules for group scoping,
event planning and content management.
A version based on PostgreSQL is available at benadida.
ArsDigita has their own release of AOLserver (v3.2+ad10),
as well as Oracle drivers, etc. See the acs-repository URL.
Recently ArsDigita moved to a Java based distribution. However, the
OpenACS project took over the Tcl based software from what
I understand. OpenACS is at version 3.2.5 with a version 4 b2 in
testing.
