The NaviSoft NaviServer maintains a pool of open connections to the
database that the C and Tcl API's can access. It makes for extremely
fast database access. The catch is that you need a NaviServer database
driver for the database you want to connect to. We have such drivers
for Illustra (http://www.illustra.com), ODBC on NT, and Postgres, and
have a beta quality Sybase driver for Unix. We're also glad to help
other people write drivers. For more information, check out
http://naviserver.navisoft.com or ask me directly.
