I'm trying to port my application from mysql to postgres (for the GIS
supoort). I had hoped there would be wild enthsuiasm for such a
project, as the Arduino community is extremely large, and this would
push postgres into a wider audience. I expected it would take multiple
people with varying backgrounds to accomplish the task. If you can do
it on your own, great. I'll be happy to lend what knowledge I have of
the Arduino and using the mysql connector -
