Sorry, I did not mean to imply that your work is worthless. What I meant is that I don't like having so many layers of indirection in my software: persistent itself is already a high-level wrapper that abstracts backends. Wrapping another library to do something similar just means there are now *two* places to check for bugs. In general I think it would be a good thing to have solid, low-level bindings to PostgreSQL. And I reported the bug with a direct email to you I believe, perhaps it went to your junk mail folder? I apologize for the implied insult, it was not intended.
