And that is the way I used to do it, before the Arduino MySQL connector

more. Hence my interest in a Arduino PostgreSQL Connector.

I think it is a interesting idea, unfortunately I do not have the programming skills to make it happen. The primary issue to getting this going is that the Postgres developers are already pushed to the limit on keeping up with existing platforms. Adding a new one with such resource constraints is not all that compelling. That being said I still believe you could get something going via a cross community approach. In other words post your idea on a relevant Arduino forum/list also. To make the process smoother a written proposal/outline of what is desired would be nice. As has been mentioned the MySQL connector you are using is a cut down version of the full MySQL client, so what it offers could be a starting point for what you would want in a Postgres client. To have a home for this maybe set up a GitHub account to point people to and from which developers could work.

Here is how it works today. slim and clean -
