John,
Here's what I suggest, but take it with a grain of salt because I
haven't tried it. There is an extension for tcl that allows you
to make calls to ODBC drivers called, oddly enough, tclodbc. You can
get a copy at
http://www.neosoft.com/tcl/ftparchive/sorted/databases
You will also have to get the ODBC drivers for PostgresSQL - try
http://www.MageNet.com/postodbc
These should allow you to remotely access the database from a client.
Hope this helps,
Mike Rogers
