I use a DIGITAL ALPHA DEC2000 AXP500 with 128MB of RAM, architecture EV4 150MHz processor. I installed a Debian potato (2.2) and got problems during installation, postmaster not starting. After a mail exchange with postgres Debian mantainer, got sources of postgresql version 7.0.3 (debian patched) and compiled, installation was successful. Created a database with "createdb test", all OK. Created a new user with "createuser gunny", all ok. Connected to test with psql and create a very simple table named "prova" with only a column of varchar(20), all ok. After did the command "\d prova", the problem is that it never ended without message. With a ps I found the process "/usr/lib/postgres/bin/postgres test idle" that get all the CPU but little memory (4%). Some ideas?
