Yes, it is written in pure Pharo, using a TCP network connection to PostgreSQL. > As we have protocol version 3.0 does it mean that protocol 4.0 will be > announced shortly? :) Hmm, I guess you're joking, AFAIK there is no protocol 4.0 (this is the front-end/back-end or client-server protocol to talk to the DB). > Great work! Although I do not use SQL databases I need to check. Well, that might be a mistake. PostgreSQL is very good and does most things that NoSQL DB's do, like key-value storage, JSON, XML, documents, .. often just as fast. Being a bit more traditional, cautious at the DB level is considered good in many circles. > Norbert > > >> Am 27.06.2017 um 14:56 schrieb Sven Van Caekenberghe <[email protected]>: >> >> P3 is a modern, lean and mean PostgreSQL client for Pharo. >> >> P3Client uses frontend/backend protocol 3.0 (PostgreSQL version 7.4 [2003] >> and later), implementing the simple query cycle.
