ADB - A(nother) database engine for Tcl/Tk

Developed by Roalt Aalmoes

ADB together with it's 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.

ADB support at this moment one database at a time, but within this database multiple table can be defined.

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. For this purpose, the well-known tDOM package has to be installed.

* Connecting directly to a MySQL database. For this purpose the mysqltcl package has to be installed as well.

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.

Short history:

This package has been used for many years in my atdor program. A Track and Field meeting organisation program. I've decided that the database engine in this program might be useful for many other purposes. The atdor program, currently uses an older version of this library, will be re-released later to use this version. So see www.atdor.com for a application of approx. 20k lines of code using it.
