MySQL databases can be accessed by scripts written in the Tcl scripting language on Socrates and Plato. The following example examines table people in database ucabwww, owned by user ucabwww:
tclsh8.3 % package require mysqltcl 2.0rc11 % set h [mysqlconnect -h mysql-server.ucl.ac.uk -u ucabwww -password secret] mysql0 % mysqluse $h ucabwww % mysqlsel $h "select name,age from people" -list {fred 23} {mary 34} {john 44} {jane 56} {tony 98} % mysqlclose $h % exit
