I would like to solve a problem of "Allow access to the database via HTTP".
But before drawing up the demand in GSOC I wanted to consult here. Therefore I will be grateful to comments from attendees here!
1. I think, will better use access to DB through the stand-alone program which not necessarily has to be on the same server. At least because it will give certain freedom in cluster systems.
2. Whether it is obligatory to use a programming language C for this purpose? After all as the stand-alone program ( frontend ) it has to be not necessarily written in the same programming language as the server ( backend ). I would prefer to use the python language for writing as I consider that this language is more clear to system administrators + to bring much more simply editings in a code.
What is a benefit of this implementation for Postgres community?
Proposed implementation is few lines in Python - and it is not big benefit for us. More, similar project exists.
It can be interesting as well integrated project to Postgres - implemented in C as background worker (if it possible)

3. What you will advise what to pass a selection stage in GSOC 2015 from postgresql?)
