Hi Brett,

Thanks for the message.

I just wanted to try it with pgtcl.
My problem with the underlying db api in aolserver is that there is no
mechanism for binding variables to an SQL statement, e.g:

set sql {
    select
        *
    from
        table
    where
        status = ?
}

There is no mean to bind a variable to the placeholder. May be the db
api is not matured yet, but this would certainly be a worth while
addition.
