I thought it'd be nice if there were a unified interface
to JDBC, OraTcl, SybTcl, MySQLTcl etc... so that it'd be
easier to switch out databases. I like the syntax of MySQLTcl...
its very clean. I guess everybody could just use
JDBC with TCLBlend too to avoid vendor lockin even though
the syntax is a little more cluttered. Although there may be
a performance benefit by using the native packages
like OraTcl too.
