“Database-backed programming with AOLserver.“
“Now that we have a working knowledge of AOLserver itself and
basic programming skills for using Tcl with it, we launch a more
complicated, database-backed site. Part 3 of our four-part series,
“Introduction to AOLserver,” discusses what you want to look for in
a database, and how to get started with using it once you’ve found

as a result, the core AOLserver doesn’t actually understand how to
talk to any specific database management system in particular. What
it does understand is how to talk to an AOLserver database driver,
which is typically a 500 line C program that bridges the AOLserver
C API and the DBMS vendor’s C library.”
