That's true. We have intentionally avoided adding pl/tcl functions
into the db. The postgresql db stuff relies extensively on plpgsql,
while the oracle db stuff relies on pl/sql to provide equivalent
functionality.
On the other hand, all of the web server stuff is implemented on Aolserver
which uses Tcl as a scripting language.
