The actions are more complex. There aren't just simple INSERT's or
UPDATE's

There are tables that should be opened, complex operations that should
be made so I need an external program written for example in Tcl that
will operate with lists, arrays and so on.

I realise that a Python module would be just fine but I'm not familiar
with Python. There should be some simple "exec myprogram" tricks that
would allow execution of any external program.
