Newer versions of TCL implement ByteArray objects which are the best fit for Postgresql Large Object functions. The change is simple. Here's a diff on the 7.4 source file and a fixed version:
diff pgtclCmds.c pgtclCmds.c.fixed 1218c1218 < bufObj = Tcl_NewStringObj(buf, nbytes); --- > bufObj = Tcl_NewByteArrayObj(buf, nbytes); 1310c1310 < buf = Tcl_GetStringFromObj(objv[3], &nbytes); --- > buf = Tcl_GetByteArrayFromObj(objv[3], &nbytes); By making this change, TCL users (like me) can store and retrieve binary objects in the database, like images. And, strings will still work fine, too. -Mahlon Stacy ------------------------------------------------------------- Mahlon Stacy Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mayo Foundation (507) 284-4558 Medical Science Bldg 1-43 FAX (507) 284-1632 Rochester, MN 55905 ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
