1: Using ACS tools without ACS
Posted by Clif Flynt on 12/17/11 11:10 PM
I'd like to test my .tcl script libraries outside the AOLServer/OpenACS environment.

In particular, I want to test the Oracle interactions.

Is there a way to use the db_dml command from Tcl, or to just execute .tcl scripts, not full web pages using AOLServer/OpenACS?

Thanks

Clif

Yes. Take a look at nstcl http://nstcl.sourceforge.net/

We've used this extensively from tcl scripts to access postgresql databases from machines which don't have AOLserver installed. You can use it to connect to a wide range of databases including Oracle.
