Dear PostgreSQL Advocacy Team, 

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request the inclusion of the Ballerina PostgreSQL Connector [1] in the official PostgreSQL client libraries list on your website [2][3].

The Ballerina PostgreSQL Connector enables developers to seamlessly integrate PostgreSQL with applications written in the Ballerina programming language. It is open-source and licensed under Apache License 2.0.

Here are the details:

Please let me know if there are any additional steps or requirements for this listing. I would be happy to provide further information or assistance as needed.

I'm guessing from here:

https://central.ballerina.io/ballerinax/postgresql/1.13.2

"Add the PostgreSQL driver as a dependency to the Ballerina project."

"ballerinax/postgresql.driver package bundles the latest PostgreSQL 
driver JAR."

So not the driver itself, but a wrapper for it.

PostgreSQL 7.3 went EOL 17 years ago..

If you look at the current version of the page which discuss client interfaces
you'll see there are none listed, with a link to the wiki page instead.

This is where drivers are added, in order to edit it and add your driver please
follow the instructions on the top of the page for getting edit permissions
(which I've also linked below).
