<para>

<application>pgtclsh</application> provides a TCL shell interface

for <productname>Postgres</productname>.

<command>pgtclsh</command> is a <application>Tcl</application>

shell interface extended with

<productname>Postgres</productname> database access functions.

(Essentially, it is <command>tclsh</command> with

<filename>libpgtcl</filename> loaded.) Like with the regular

<application>Tcl</application> shell, the first command line

argument is a script file, any remaining arguments are passed to

the script. If no script file is named, the shell is

interactive.

</para>

<para>

Another way of accessing <productname>Postgres</productname>

through tcl is to use

<xref linkend="app-pgtksh">

or

<xref linkend="app-pgaccess">.

A <application>Tcl</application> shell with

<application>Tk</application> and

<productname>Postgres</productname> functions is available as <xref

linkend="app-pgtksh">.

<para>

<application>pgtksh</application> provides a graphical TCL/TK shell interface

for <productname>Postgres</productname>.

<command>pgtksh</command> is a <application>Tcl/Tk</application>

shell interface extended with <productname>Postgres</productname>

database access functions. (Essentially, it is

<command>wish</command> with <filename>libpgtcl</filename> loaded.)

Like with <command>wish</command>, the regular

<application>Tcl/Tk</application> shell, the first command line

argument is a script file, any remaining arguments are passed to

the script. Special options may be processed by the

<application>X Window System</application> libraries instead.

If no script file is named, the shell is interactive.

<para>

Another way of accessing <productname>Postgres</productname>

through <acronym>TCL</acronym> is to use

<xref linkend="app-pgtclsh">

or

<xref linkend="app-pgaccess">.

A plain <application>Tcl</application> shell with

<productname>Postgres</productname> functions is available as <xref

linkend="app-pgtclsh">.
