You know what? Fine, it doesn't matter that much to me. I'm happy to

postgres team would be interested in providing support for a very
popular microcontroller system. If not, they are missing out on a
larger segment of users.
personal opinion:
I don't think a terminal device like a PC or an embedded system should
be talking directly to SQL at all. instead, they should be talking
to an application server which implements the "business logic", and
THAT talks to the database
+1, especially if the sensors are located off-site, where sysadmins
have a tendency to close ports and filter protocols. HTTP gets through
pretty much any firewall without changes to the payload.
Also; using a native protocol means that the Arduino's must use the same
version
as the server, which means you need a way to upgrade them, all at the
same time.
Yikes.
Nope, I would dearly love to have a native PostgreSQL driver just to
prove it can be done,
but I don't think it is a particularly good idea to actually use in
production environments.
