1. sqlquery This is the SQL query to send to the DBS. This parameter is required. If it is not included NULL is returned to the calling process. 2. connection This is the JDBC datasource connection string to use. This paramater can be an ODBC DSN connection that exists on the same computer as where the JSP is running. The default value is: "jdbc:odbc:Northwind" 3. username This is the username to login into the DBS with. The default value is "sa" 4. password This is the password to use with the login into the DBS. The default value is NULL or "" 5. querytype This is the type of SQL query that is being run. This can be either select, insert, update, or delete. The default value is select. NOTE: An error may be returned if the SQL query does not match the query type parameter. And even though an error is returned the SQL query may have been successful. For example, if the querytype is set to select, but the sqlquery contents are an UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE then an error will be returned saying, "no result set", but the query may have been successful. 6. maxrows This is the maximum rows to be returned as a Tcl list. The default value is 1000 rows.The JSP will return one of the following values as a Tcl list.
Tcl Index 0 is reserved for SUCCEEDED or FAILED. If FAILED is returned an error has occured. Tcl Index 1 will give a description of the error. If Tcl Index 0 has the value SUCCEEDED then Tcl index 1 will contain the meta-data of the SQL query (a.k.a Column Headers,a.k.a Field Names,a.k.a Attributes). The remaing rows, if any, in the Tcl list will contain the result values all converted to text.Here is the source code for the JSP page. To install the script simply copy the contents of it into your clipboard and then past it into a JSP file and save the file into a working Java Web Server's context. An example of a Java Web Server is Apache Tomcat (which can be downloaded for free at Apache.org[1]). This JSP also requires the Jacl library package to be installed and in the Java's library path.

This example requires a ODBC DSN connection created on the server where the JSP is running.

What I had in mind was the JSP allows multiple Tcl Interpreters running on remote computers to do SQL queries via http without having the ODBC drivers installed on their computers. Also, the SQL being returned is in the form of Tcl list and has meta-data (column headers) included. The meta-data and returned values could be used to create dynamic Tk forms. For example, you could program a Tk form with dynamic labels and have the text fields populated with the result from the SQL. And, you could then add a Tk button to allow a user to update the records in the database from the same dynamic form.
