 - ([\#74](https://github.com/forbole/juno/pull/74)) Added database block count to prometheus to improve alert monitoring
 - ([\#75](https://github.com/forbole/juno/pull/75)) Allow modules to handle MsgExec inner messages
 - ([\#76](https://github.com/forbole/juno/pull/76)) Return 0 as height for `GetLastBlockHeight()` method while no block is saved
+- ([\#79](https://github.com/forbole/juno/pull/79)) Use `sqlx` instead of `sql` inside `PostgreSQLDatabase`
