To add to your list, I recently wrote a new PostgreSQL client, P3, that is using only TCP networking (no native library mess).
Another important advantage of a TCP/IP based database client is that outstanding/long-running calls do not block your image.
I think thas has more to do with the way FFI calls work in Pharo rather than TCP/IP. I.e. Dolphin Smalltalk had the option of non-blocking FFI, used extensively for DB access where there is more wait and transfer state, than execution. Esteban A. Maringolo
