[...] I haven't tried Squeak and PostgreSQL yet, but will the PostgreSQL driver work with the coming 8.0 release? Or is a driver that will in the works?
As far as I know, the Postgres driver of squeak support an old protocol. It should work with the 7.x and (I hope) even with the 8.x. I will try the 7.x driver in the next weeks, and I will post my impression to the list... bye bye
The PostgreSQL driver uses the 2.5 protocol instead of the 3.0 protocol, but the newer versions of PostgreSQL support it fine. I used the current Squeak driver with 7.4.6 for a MASSIVE project this past semester, and it worked very well, even under a heavy load. It also worked on the 8.0 alpha stream in light testing, but PostgreSQL logged a warning that the 2.5 protocol is outdated. I also did not test this configuration extensivley, so there may have been issues I didn't catch. The only component that's missing functionality-wise that I noticed--and it doesn't work on 7 or 8--is MD5 password authentication. Adding it is on my ever-growing TODO list, but if you want to add it, it would be a relatively trivial modification to the state machine.
