The PostgreSQL.jl package (as well as the DBI.jl package, which you may also need) are not in the standard place for Julia packages. Try running the following lines from within Julia:

Pkg.clone("git://github.com/JuliaDB/PostgreSQL.jl") Pkg.clone("git://github.com/JuliaDB/DBI.jl")

Registering these packages could be a good idea.

Another option that would allow using PostgreSQL without the abstraction of DBI: https://github.com/MikeInnes/Requires.jl to conditionally include and test the DBI portion of the code.

Not sure who should/would make such a decision, but I could prepare a PR

DBI.jl is now a registered package https://github.com/JuliaDatabases/DBInterface.jl/issues/13#issuecomment-572796269

Maybe PostgreSQL.jl can now be registered.

Closing as I just saw that PostgreSQL.jl is now deprecated in favor of LibPQ.jl
