Hi, list

I'be been trying to use LuaSQL to connect to a PostgreSQL database,
unsuccessfully.

I'm using Lua for Windows and when I try

  require 'luasql.postgres'

I get the usual require error about it not being able to find the module.

I checked the searched directories and there's no postgres.dll (only
mysql.dll, odbc.dll and sqlite3.dll).

I could use some assistance regarding:
  - am I missing something? (besides the dll... ;) )
  - how do I connect to the db using ODBC if that is the only option?
  - what would I have to do to compile the dll myself in a way that is
compatible with LfW?
  - is there an alternative to LuaSQL that I'm overlooking?
