Re: [Starkit] Oomk bug?

[Detlef Groth]

Hello,

Indeed it seems that oomk has a memory bug. I fixed this manually inside my
tiny sql for metakit (http://goblet.molgen.mpg.de/tsql4mk) via

rename $viewName ""

views are not automatically destroyed otherwise if coming out of scope.
Remember my presentation at EuroTcl2005 ;)

regards,
Detlef
