Обсуждение: plTcl - how to create proc/function libraries
From the plTcl docs it appears the way for me to create function/procedure libraries for plTcl is by implementing the "unknown" command. However, my 8.1.4 Windows-based installation doesn't seem to jibe with what the docs say I should expect:: << PL/Tcl has a special support for things often used. It recognizes two magic tables, pltcl_modules and pltcl_modfuncs. >> The docs don't mention where these should be, or how to create them. Other docs refer to scripts called: pltcl_loadmod, pltcl_listmod and pltcl_delmod but they are nowhere to be found. Can anyone enlighten me? << To enable this behavior, the PL/Tcl call handler must be compiled with -DPLTCL_UNKNOWN_SUPPORT set. >> I have a Windows-based server, and I am assuming the pre-compiled library file pltcl.dll is supporting it - no compiling option there. How do I find out if it was compiled with DPLTCL_UNKNOWN_SUPPORT set? TIA! Carlo

Where are you reading that? There's no such sentence in the current
docs, and no sign of any such conditional in the source code either.
I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, but it's not because it's
been deliberately turned off...

True, I cannot find this in the current docs - that statement about the conditional compile was from some documentation I found from googling "pltcl_modules pltcl_modfuncs" I went back to the site i found it and snooped around and saw that it was a copy of docs from 1998. Sorry about the confusion, but I don't know whether the pltcl.dll (in other words, the Windows postgres installation) supports the "unknown" command, and pulling up this doc (in error, once again - sorry) came out of desperation for looking for more information on the creating and maintenace of those tables (pltcl_modules pltcl_modfuncs), and why I don't have the support scrtipts for them in my Windows installation.

The Windows-PosgreSQL 8.1.4 package I downloaded from the PostgreSQL download site (right here) does not seem to contain the scripts: pltcl_delmod pltcl_listmod pltcl_loadmod Have I missed something, or can anyone else confirm? Carlo

They're definitely not included there. Could you check if there are any other pltcl specific files missing, and then please open a bug report at the pgfoundry page (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller). //Magnus
