You *can* use classes and interfaces and type hierarchies. They do use the GC by default, unlike structs, but they're kind of handy, especially here. Then you have a SqlConnection interface that most people use all the time and all people use most of the time. If you explicitly need some connection properties that are specific to Postgres, you cast to a PostgresConnection.
