Standard Database Interface?



I'm really very concerned regarding the state of tcl's standard
database interface. Sybtcl is unusable so I resorted to snodbc to
access Sybase ASE but I don't think snodbc will be maintained in the
future. So I'm planning to use something else to develop my next
project after I deliver my current project. It's true that postgres
and oracle database tcl api are currently maintained but some of my
clients are using Sybase.

I really like tcl/tk but I don't want to be in hot water in the
future. I really hope someone will do something about this. I know
that tcl/tk is used for many things but for I make a living by
developing business applications and w/o a standardize database
interface and tcl database bindings for popular database would deter
me and others from using tcl/tk for this purpose.

I am now using/maintaining the following database servers:

ASE Sybase 12.5.x since
2001 Windows/Linux

Oracle
2005 Windows/Linux
Postgres
2004 Windows/Linux
MS SQL Server 2000
2005 ---
