Re: Issues with Oratcl 4.6.1 Using Tcl 8.6 and 9.0

Hi Greg,
 I suppose, this is a project without maintainer:
 https://sourceforge.net/projects/oratcl/
 So the typical guys like Christian Werner or Paul Obermeier do something and revised versions may be found there.
 It is alos sad, that tdbc has no oracle module.
 The only think you may currently do is to leave a ticket at the project.
 Sorry,
Harald
 

Hi Harald,
my mistake.
My post came across incorrectly.
Oratcl 4.6.1 works for me with Tcl 9.
The source code and development are active at:
https://github.com/sm-shaw/Oratcl
There is also a very good precompiled library and source code available at BAWT.
(I can compile it myself by now as well.)
In hindsight, I have also found good descriptions about the Oracle Instant Client with Oratcl.
https://www.hammerdb.com/docs/ch01s10.html#d0e678
I’m just struggling a bit to get scripts running correctly under Tcl 8.6 and Tcl 9.0 due to UTF-8, CP1252,
umlauts  and file formats—especially regarding the correct file format of the script files for editing under Linux and Windows.
There is nothing that speaks against switching to Tcl 9.
Thanks for the continued development of Tcl/Tk and libraries like Oratcl!
best regards
Gregor
