What I was asking was whether or not David W. Simons' "pgsaql" was
all there was currently available in Sather to connect to a
3rd-party RDBMS? And whether or not Sather had it's own "native"
database system?

That's what I kinda thought! I was hoping for something like Perl's
CPAN, but ....
Seems that maybe Sather is the wrong tool for C GI work -for me - at
the moment. I'll keep test-driving Sather to get a better feel for
it, but Ada might be more attractive. Thanks!
