It's a library that speaks its own network protocol to a remote proxy
agent that in turn talks to the remote database.  It might not have been
that hard to port the client.  For people already calling a C API or
something built on one, it could be a solution that is not too painful.
But for people using a SQL precompiler for one of the traditional
languages, there's a lot of pain headed their way.
