Обсуждение: PostgreSQL Solaris packages now in beta
With big thanks to Josh Berkus and Devrim Gunduz, I'm happy to announce that Sun has just released a Solaris distribution of PostgreSQL 8.1.2 with ready-to-install packages for both Sparc and x86. These packages are currently in Beta, and we expect to FCS in 2 -3 weeks. The packages, along with an install guide, are available for download at http://pgfoundry.org/projects/solarispackages/ We have tightly integrated PostgreSQL with Solaris in a manner similar to the Linux distributions available on postgresql.org. In fact, the directory structures are identical. Starting with Solaris 10 Update 2, PostgreSQL will be distributed with every copy of Solaris, via download and physical media. We welcome any and all feedback on this PostgreSQL Solaris distribution. Please subscribe to the solarispackages-general@pgfoundry.org mailing list to give us feedback: http://pgfoundry.org/mail/?group_id=1000063 BTW, I'm a senior engineer at Sun Microsystems, recently working with the PostgreSQL community (namely Josh Berkus, Devrim Gunduz, and Gavin Sherry) on the Solaris Packages Project at PgFoundry, PostgreSQL performance optimization on Solaris, and leveraging Solaris 10 capabilities (e.g. DTrace) specifically for PostgreSQL. I'll be posting a Solaris performance tuning guide in a few weeks. Regards, Robert Lor

This means that we need feedback on these packages, as much as we can get. Once Sun starts distributing them via Solaris it will be harder to make architectural changes.

Do they work on x86-64 processors using the Solaris compiler? We have a patch for it in CVS but it is not in 8.1.X, and we could use someone to eyeball and test it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Lor wrote: > > With big thanks to Josh Berkus and Devrim Gunduz, I'm happy to announce > that Sun has just released a Solaris distribution of PostgreSQL 8.1.2 > with ready-to-install packages for both Sparc and x86.

Bruce, The binary was compiled in 32bit mode using Sun Studio compiler, and we plan to do 64bit soon. Can you point me to the patch? We can certainly test it!

Download CVS HEAD and give it a try. The file that was created for the port is backend/port/tas/solaris_x86_64.s. It is an assembler file. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001+ If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania19073
