There is no real support for databases in the sense that the scripts
do something like you described above. And even the msql support in
the C code is going away because the msqltcl interface is now a
dynamically loadable module.
So yes, you have to add a yew lines Tcl here and there to make things
work like you want them to work. (It would be cool if Tcl had a RDBMS
independent DB API which would offer core relational operations, but
which would work with whatever RDBMS backend you have. Something like
this could probably be written on top of the various existing Tcl APIs
- but I never looked closer into this issue.)
