I have used both TCL and Sqlite a fair bit but not both together. I have thought that TCL + in memory Sqlite would make a powerful combination for some tasks but have never actually tried it.
> have a tcl interpreter as a virtual table
Do you mean this: https://sqlite.org/src/file/src/test_tclvar.c https://sqlite.org/src/file/src/test_tclvar.c ?
- oldlaptop 2y agoI can't comment on virtual-table shenanigans, but I'll enthusiastically confirm that thought. Not only is an in-memory database powerful and useful for all the obvious reasons, but (I would argue) the Tcl interface to SQLite is perhaps the best relational database API in any language. (Even if it cheats a bit by being an embedded database, as with <https://sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html#function https://sqlite.org/tclsqlite.html#function>.) It's easily as synergistic a combination as Tcl and Tk themseves, possibly more.
