Hi,
I just got the Mac OS X public beta running on my home computer and want to compile
postgresql for it but don't know where to start. I have installed Postgresql on linux
boxes but they always just work because there are configs for them. Since v7.0.2
doesn't know about Mac OS X I'm assu

You may say I'm ambitious, you may say I'm even foolish,
but I'm going to do some database research work using
PostgreSQL. And I've never used it before.
Since I'm going to be working on optimization ideas,
I'll have to get into the guts pretty quickly.

Hi folks,

not. I'm interested in thinking about using postgres to develop

I hear you. PostgreSQL has been a very good thing for me, the past few
years. In many ways, it is the _fun_ part of computers.

That looks like the physical creation of the table data file for 'test4'
is failing. Unfortunately older releases of postgres are not very
good about reporting the kernel

That's sort of my point. A lot of people don't seem to take in account
that, like accountants and lawyers, etc., a certain amount of due care is
required and with all the stuff out there, it is hard to keep track of
version releases and new functionality. At least what Bruce is planning on
