TCL is dead.  Long live TCL.

PLTCL was taken out of the core distribution, and is not in contrib.
You have to download it from here

http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pgtclng/download/download.php

There is documentation available as well as Win32 binaries.

This list is as good a place as any to ask!

I didn't see you answer on the mail list - so please forgive the direct
reply. Thanks you very much for the response - do you develop in plTcl?

I also see that this package is for pgtcl - I am looking for server-side
support, i.e. plTcl. Where can I find that? More specifically, I am looking
for the scripts pltcl_loadmod, pltcl_listmod and pltcl_delmod mentioned in
the PostgreSQL documentation of the "unknown" command.

I think you confused pltcl with pgtcl.  Totally different things
(pltcl is server side, pgtcl client side).

They should be in the same directory as the other postgres executables,
if you have pltcl.

$ ls ~/testversion/bin
clusterdb*       ecpg*            pg_dumpall*      postmaster@
createdb*        initdb*          pg_resetxlog*    psql*
createlang*      ipcclean*        pg_restore*      reindexdb*
createuser*      pg_config*       pltcl_delmod*    vacuumdb*
dropdb*          pg_controldata*  pltcl_listmod*
droplang*        pg_ctl*          pltcl_loadmod*
dropuser*        pg_dump*         postgres*
$

If you don't see them, you should take it up with whoever created the
package you're using.

Yes - this statement actually came from a helpful soul who had replied but
did not realise I was talking about pltcl.



I am looking into the "unknown" command because I believe there may be
security issues with using "spource" or "package" commands to access proc
libraries - and that the "unknown" command and its magic tables is the way
to make those libs reside on the server and totally portable. Am I correct?

I thought that's what I was doing - I downloaded postgresql-8.1.4-1.zip from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.4/win32/

Is there somewhere else I should be directing my question?
