I, for one, read the question a previous time that it was posed:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/02/msg01024.html
That reference is somewhere mid-thread, and this time I'll quote
it to save your looking it up:
"A little research indicates that Tcl/Tk plays well with sqlite.
A couple of years ago I started learning it for a now abandoned
project. I'll follow up on that combo. [I looked at some code
fragments on http://wiki.tcl.tk . They were reminiscent of what
I did in dBaseII so may be a productive path.]" — Richard Owlett
Cheers,
David.
