DESCRIPTION
       Tcl Database Connectivity (TDBC) is a common interface for Tcl programs
       to access SQL databases. It is implemented by a series of database
       drivers: separate modules, each of which adapts Tcl to the interface of
       one particular database system.  All of the drivers implement a common
       series of commands for manipulating the database.  These commands are
       all named dynamically, since they all represent objects in the database
       system. They include connections, which represent connections to a
       database; statements, which represent SQL statements, and result sets,
       which represent the sets of rows that result from executing statements.
       All of these have manual pages of their own, listed under SEE ALSO.

       In addition, TDBC itself has a few service procedures that are chiefly
       of interest to driver writers. SEE ALSO also enumerates them.
