Hello People of PostgreSQL,
Unfortunately only nowadays (March 2017), and only by chance I spotted
this 2010 discussion during a Google search.
Name of discussion:
Wikipedia entry - AmigaOS port - error?
id of message:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/839805.58072.qm%40web23603.mail.ird.yahoo.com
I found strange the doubt Mr. Glyn Astill expressed that Amiga platform
entry in Wikipedia about availability of PostgreSQL could be an error,
as he was just unaware that platform had a porting of PostgreSQL even if
unofficial...
Also I found strange the fact Mr. Tom Lane immediately deleted Amiga
reference entry on Wikipedia in article regarding RDBMS without
performing any serious search on Google, lasting more than a couple of
minutes of true serious search, or maybe asking directly into Amiga
Forums about PostgreSQL to Amiga Communituy of Users.
Infacts there is a port of PostgreSQL made in the late 2005 (five years
before your discussion started) present in online Amiga Repository
AMINET and it was available for the Amiga clone Operating System called
MorphOS
http://aminet.net/package/dev/gg/postgresql632-mos-bin
In 2010 it has been sure completely outdated but sure you can see proof
it exists, and that Amiga had full dignity of being present into
Wikipedia Article.
I am pretty sure it is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_relational_database_management_systems#Operating_system_support
PostgreSQL Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes (MorphOS)[24]
A simple Google search could had helped you and sure it had solved your
doubts, or maybe just paying a visit on Amiga Forums that are well
represented online and asking directly to members of Amiga Community
that are well known for their friendly welcome attitude (I can assure
you two that we don't bite people from other platforms) sure had saved
Mr. Tom Lane from his presupponential deletion of Amiga Entry in RDBMS
in Wikipedia.
I get this occasion to inform you gentlemen that there are also various
packages regarding SQLite into Amiga repositories, if you search for it.
Last available package is from 2016, so it is not outdated this time.
and If you are active also in SQLite Community now you have full info
about Amiga portings.
http://aminet.net/search?query=SQLite
Hope from now on future, you will not delete anymore -abruptly- Amiga
entries before informing yourself about Amiga portings availability when
encoutering this platform name by chance on Wikipedia or other sites.
With respect,
Raffaele irlanda
