Обсуждение: Mac OsX
Hi All Ive got a brief to convert the existing functionality of a fairly sophisticated ms-access database to an sql backend and then add a web (apache/php) interface to it. It will be running on a beefy mac box with os x. First, I have to evaluate which server I'm going to use - and seeing as I'm already inolved with similar (non mac) projects with postgres, I'd like to go that way. So is postgres a viable option for osx (jaguar I think), or do I go back to mysql? I'd love to hear from anyone with real world experience. by viable I mean it can be obtained in binary form, doesn't require a very specific version/patch level of os x, as well as works (properly). Thanks all -- Glenn <glenn@pip.com.au>
I've had no problem running it on OS X. An excellent binary distribution can be found at www.entropy.ch/, and everything works as should be expected. Although to be honest, my machine is not the production database, it's the test one, but I still haven't had any problems whatsoever.

Hi Glenn, You can download a PostgreSQL v7.3.0 binary from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ Or v7.3.1 compiles out of the box from source. I haven't yet tried v7.3.2, although I doubt there will be too much trouble. Also v7.3.1 can be installed using fink now also http://fink.sourceforge.net I have been using it on 10.1/jaguar with no bother for months now.
