A few years ago, I released an alternate PostgreSQL interface for Squeak. Recently, Leonardo Cecchi (l.cecchi@mind-informatica.com) greatly improved upon the code by fixing some bugs, adding SmalltalkX compatability, and creating SUnit tests.
What were the motivations behind writing this instead of using the other implementation? How do they differ?
I wrote mine for fun, to learn the PostgreSQL client interface, and to improve my moderate Smalltalk skills.
Honestly, I'm not sure how it differs from the existing interface because I don't use either one. I only dabble with Smalltalk, and have not yet created any applications that require persistence outside the image itself.
