DESCRIPTION

       Tcl  Database  Connectivity  (TDBC)  is  a common interface for Tcl programs to access SQL
       databases. It is implemented by a series of database drivers: separate  modules,  each  of
       which  adapts  Tcl to the interface of one particular database system.  All of the drivers
       implement a common series of commands for manipulating the database.  These  commands  are
       all  named  dynamically,  since  they  all  represent objects in the database system. They
       include  connections,  which  represent  connections  to  a  database;  statements,  which
       represent  SQL  statements,  and result sets, which represent the sets of rows that result
       from executing statements. All of these have manual pages of their own, listed  under  SEE
       ALSO.

       In  addition,  TDBC  itself  has  a few service procedures that are chiefly of interest to
       driver writers. SEE ALSO also enumerates them.
