If you haven't read it yet, there is a book being like the Bible to all OpenACS users. It's Philip Greenspun's 'Philip and Alex Guide to Web Publishing'. You may download it at http://www.arsdigita.com/books/panda. I think you will find much information, not only about the db connectivity, but developing web applications with Tcl as well.

Philip has written two other books, 'Tcl for Web Nerds' and 'SQL for Web Nerds', and they also are available for download at http://www.arsdigita.com/books/tcl and http://www.arsdigita.com/books/sql. You may also want to check AOLServer documentation at http://aolserver.com/docs.

A book that I just reviewed is pretty good for teching you PostgreSQL and accesing it from Tcl: "Beginning PostgreSQL." It hasn't been published yet tho 😟 It's being published by Wrox Press.

If you are accessing PG from "regular" Tcl (i.e. not within AOLserver Tcl) you should look at "nstcl", a Tcl database abstraction layer written by fellow OpenACS'er Michael Cleverly.

nstcl implements the same familiar AOLserver "ns_db" calls, and it currently supports PostgreSQL, Oracle and Solid. Check it out at http://michael.cle verly.com/aolserver/nstcl
