Lua and Postgres

[Steve Litt <slitt@...>]

Hi all,

At our local Postgres meeting tonight, I asked how to interface Lua with 
Postgres, and the people there tried to get it set up. A quick googling 
indicated it should look something like this.

                               Stored
App     Iface       DB      Proc Language

                             .--PLLua
Lua<--->LuaSQL<--->Postgres<-:
                             `--plpgsql

We spent the whole night trying to install LuaSQL. LuaRocks got installed just 
fine, but no matter what they did, they couldn't get LuaSQL installed from 
LuaRocks or any other way.

I've promised to give a Lua/Postgres dog and pony show at the next Orlando 
Postres Users Group meeting, so I need to know these things:

1) Is LuaSQL the best way to interface between Lua and Postgres?
2) Is it necessary to go through LuaRocks? Is there a better way?
3) What is the procedure to install the Lua/Postgres interface?

Thanks
