Try this:

| sql conn connectionSpec result  |
sql := 'SELECT * FROM search_terms'.
conn := GAConnection new.
connectionSpec := GAConnectionArgs
                            hostname: 'localhost'
                            portno: 5432
                            databaseName: 'sodbxtest'
                            userName: 'sodbxtest'
                            password: 'sodbxtest'.
conn connectionArgs: connectionSpec.

"Connect to the server"
result := conn startup.
(result errorResponse isKindOf: GAErrorResponse) ifTrue: [ self halt ].

"Execute your SQL stuff"
result := conn execute: sql.
(result errorResponse isKindOf: GAErrorResponse) ifTrue: [ self halt ] ifFalse: [result inspect].

"Disconnect from the server"
conn close.

Tell me which exact package you loaded (or even better, the exact to load it) and I will test some code against my PostgreSQL server...

no conn connect does not work because GAConnection has no such method. 
#connect exist in GAPostgresDrive but even if I go that route I get error #OptionAt:IfAbsent: was sent to nil . With this code

conn2 := GAPostgresDriver new .
conn2 host: 'ec2-**-***-***-185.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
port: '****'
database:'*******'  
user: '*****'  
password:''***'.
conn2 connect.

Is there sample code that connects to online databases ?

You have to #connect before executing SQL statements!

Something like (in your code):

conn connect.

Installing from Catalog Browser fails

I installed it via the the website instructions, it installs fine

But if I use it this way 

conn := GAConnection new.
ca := GAConnectionArgs hostname: 'ec2-**-***-***-185.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com
portno: '****'
databaseName:'*******'  
userName: '*****'  
password:''***'.
conn connectionArgs: ca.
conn execute: 'select * from search_terms'.

it fails with no connection, is there anything else i need to do ?
is there a guide for how to use this ?

Hey guys , I play with PostgreSQL and I really like it, sorry Esteban :D

I am using Python for it but I would like to give access also to Pharo to my database. I was informed that Garage has a driver for PostgreSQL , is there any other candidate ? Any advice ?
