Because building TEA modules on Windows is problematic for so many
people, I've packaged pre-built binaries of the packages:

tdbc::mysql
tdbc::odbc
tdbc::sqlite3

for 32-bit Windows. They are available from SourceForge at:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894&package_id=305160&release_id=651729
(or http://preview.tinyurl.com/7j8zws)

To install them, download the file 'tdbc1.0b6-win32-drivers.ZIP'.
Extract this file in a convenient place, and use 'wish8.6' to run the
script, 'INSTALL.TCL' inside the folder that's created. All the
necessary files should be copied to your Tcl 8.6 installation.

I hope this gives many more people the opportunity to start testing
TDBC.

Great! Thanks, Kevin.
The INSTALL.tcl script didn't work for me.
I guess the "file mkdir -force [file join $::tcl_library <..>]" lines
should be read as "[file join $::instdir <..>]"?
You then get everything directly under "lib" and all works fine.
Or is it supposed to be installed under lib/tcl8.6?

Where do you get the source .. for unix/linux TDBC ?

Oops. You're right. Will fix it tomorrow

I'm afraid that it'll have to wait another day yet.
All my Tcl time went to snow removal today.

The buggy INSTALL.tcl script in the release ZIP has now been corrected.
