The minus symbols can be replaced if users are compiling the libraries for those extensions. The only exception is ODBC.

[LV] What does that last comment (about ODBC being an exception) mean?

Anyone interested in supporting Tab and CSV files as well. My idea is to use the SQLite3-library and to use "create temp table" foreach tab- or csv file in a certain folder.

''[escargo] 22 Feb 2007'' - My greatest interest is probably importing from Microsoft Access. Of course, there
is also a need for printing, but that's not a data base issue.

[LV] What is used to manipulate the imported file formats? Because the [tcllib]
[csv] module allows one to specify the delimiter, so that one can have
comma, space, tab, bang (!), or whatever else you need delimination.
I wonder whether anyone is consistently using XML notation for such data -
it seems like a natural fit.

''[escargo] 23 Feb 2007'' - In fact, one of the export formats for Access is XML. (Of course, so is CSV.)
I'm just trying reduce my requirements to use nonportable applications.  (I really had a fondness for
PowerBuilder, an RDBMS with a handy form builder as its front end.  I've wondered what it would take to
create a Tcl/Tk work-alike with flexible choice for the back-end DB.)
