I’ve said it before, but I’d love to see a best-practices CRUD app done in tcl, tk, and SQLite along the lines of the north winds thing from Microsoft. The SQLite interface in tcl is a thing of beauty to rival tk.

Look at AOLServer, yes that AOL. https://aolserver.github.io/
Sure, desktop CRUD apps have been obsolete for 25 years, but I meant a desktop application in tk. Also, an example application like Northwinds, not a framework.

Not exactly what I’m thinking either, but look at how concise pgaccess (for postgresql) was.

Besides AOLServer, there were Safelayer and Vignette.

However you will only get to see AOLServer's source code, as the latter two were proprietary.

Not too surprising since D. Richard Hipp is both contributing to SQLite and Tcl.
I used SQLite with Tcl for many years, and yes, it truly is.
