This is my plan:
1. Wrap the current libpq API in CORBA, as a proof of concept
2. Implement a static row-level interface, which maps PostgreSQL
types to CORBA types
3. Design a fully dynamic interface, complete with Interface
Repository integration with the PostgreSQL type system
4. Implement the design
Number one shouldn't take very long (a few weeks, once I get the whole
CORBA development thing sorted out). Two shouldn't take much longer.
Three and four is anybody's guess, and, as I mentioned earlier, four
depends on currently unimplemented sections of ORBit.
