Oratcl ODPI‑C for Tcl 9

This is a Tcl 9 extension that re‑implements Oratcl on top of ODPI‑C 5.6.2 (no OCI).

• Async (oraexecasync, orawaitasync, orabreak)
• LOB helpers (oralob size|read|write|trim|close), with inlineLobs option
• Extended oramsg fields (fn, action, sqlstate, recoverable, warning, offset via allx)

Build

./configure --with-tcl=/path/to/tcl9
make

Windows (MSVC): Use the TEA tclconfig files with nmake or generate a Visual Studio project; ensure the ODPI sources in ./odpi/src are compiled into the same binary (or link with a static ODPI build). Define _WIN64 on 64‑bit builds.

Static linking

You can statically link Oratcl into tclsh. Each new interpreter will call oratcl_Init; Oratcl creates the ODPI context once per process, so Oracle client libraries are only loaded once.

Tests

export ORATCL_CONNECT='user/pw@//host:1521/service'
tclsh9 tests/all.tcl
