Thanks I will give it a try though I am very bad at understanding code without documentation. I also know close to nothing about SSL . If that fails I will then use the Python library for accessing my PostgreSQL database from Pharo image.

That is probably not so difficult.
For inspiration, take a look at ZdcSecurePOP3Client and ZdcSecureSMTPClient, which are both SSL variants of their respective superclasses. Once set up, an SSL stream acts the same as a normal socket stream. Methods to look at are #setupStreamForSSL or #setupStreamForStartTLS.
