At the lower level (ns_db) obviously what NaviServer has is the best (after all it is the API that nstcl has sought to emulate since as far back as the AOLserver 3 era when libnsd was still just a dream/vaporware). Above that is the ACS-like database API (db_foreach, db_multirow, db_string, etc.) that are built on top of the ns_db and ns_set APIs. nstcl has this code, probably more easily extractable then OACS, which I'd be willing to package as a .tcl module (or a .tcl support file to go alon with the existing nsdb module). I've also got separate stand-alone man pages for each of the high-level database API functions already written. Michael
