We adding support for Solaris x86 and this pushes us to upgrade the from the old-old version of Postgres we’ve been using for years.
(The requirement is to have the 64-bit exec and libs)
I looked at the release notes but could not figure out at which point Postgres gave the option of building the 64-bit binaries.
Notes for Rel. 8.2 read “Add support for Solaris x86_64 using the Solaris compiler“
Is this only about being able to compile on this platform, or actually build the 64-bit app?
Release notes for 8.4 suggest that it can be the 64-bit build: “Make version() return information about whether the server is a 32- or 64-bit binary”
It may sound stupid, but there’s a number of factors here, and we may not be able to upgrade to the very latest version, hence the question…
One feature that we’ll be missing terribly is the client TCL api, if I’m correct it was dropped back in v 7.4
Did anyone have a good experience with either pgtcl or pgtcl-ng from pgFoundry?
Which one would you recommend?
We are building on Solaris, Sol-x86 and Linux, if this matters.
Thank you in advance,
Michael.
