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.
