http://oratcl.sf.net/ is the home page for this package binding Oracle to Tcl.

Insert your favorite Oratcl tips, tricks, and hints, etc. here. Also, point to various useful reading, such as BOOK Tcl/Tk Tools, or BOOK Oracle and Open Source. "Cinderella languages" [L1 ] is a published article on Oratcl's origins.

Tom Poindexter created Oratcl. Todd M. Helfter currently maintains it.


Todd points out that, "OraTcl relies on the Oracle install. This means different things on different platforms.

On unix, the ORACLE_HOME environment variable must point to a valid oracle install.

On windows, the ociw32.lib file must be found in the WINDOWS search path. In the past, I have had to place the oracle directory in the windows PATH variable in autoexec.bat. In later releases, the registry information was sufficient to find the file."


Tcl has other connections to COMPANY: Oracle.
