Well, using Tcl with its Tcl Threads Extension should certainly let you easily control multiple concurrent PostgreSQL connections. (The Thread Extension's APIs are particularly nice for multi-threaded programming.)

I don't have any clear idea of what sort of tests you want to run "according to a script" though, so I'm not sure whether the Tcl Threads Extension, or Expect, or some other tool would best meet your needs. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
