Could you post an updated patch?

I guess the PostgreSQL dependency might be debatable since it would
probably significantly increase the closure size.  Could you check =E2=80=
=98guix
size=E2=80=99 and decide whether adding this dependency is a good thing, ba=
sed
on its size/benefit ratio?   :-)

TIA!
