PHP: with PDO I don't find it so shitty. A lot of query results it get as array
of
objects, ready to handle to the presentation/HTML layer, because the code goes
with
the data.
Tcl: it is extremely succinct, getting the result as flat list covers all the
uses
where the select column list does not change. With some small helpers a typical
pattern is:
foreach {fname lname email} [pg_query_list "select fname, lname..."] {
# variables are bound to the row values, go ahead
}
/Str.
