That sounded kinda funny to me, since I was working with (struggling
with would be a better description 8-) a very early version of Picasso
over a year ago, and interfacing it with a process control program via
Allegro CL (I think -- me memory's failing).  The Picasso release
notes confirmed my suspicions:

					Included here are CLX, PCL,
PDS (a source management system for picasso), LIBPQ (an interface to
postgres), CLING (a lisp interface to Ingres QUEL), and SLING (a lisp
interface to Ingres SQL).

Take heart, folks, Picasso isn't just for Postgres.  8-)
