Hello, I'm a beginner here at the list, my name is Daniel Pellegrini, graduation student from Brazil with no experience about pgsql. First of all I'd like to say that I have tried other lists before, but I didn't get the answer, or the complete answer.
I'm doing a research about DBMSs that run on new PC 64-bit processors, like Intel Itanium and AMD Opteron. I'd like that you would help me in some questions. First, does pgsql support this architecture? According to Administrator's Guide(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/supported-platforms.html), there are versions, for example, for SPARC and Alpha, but it doesn't mention those I'm looking for. In case that the support exists,I'd like to know the difference between the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions, if there is some differences in semantics or something like that or it's just the implementation and the application features are "transparent" for the user. Thanks a lot and excuse me about my poor English, please. Daniel Pellegrini --- now, in Portuguese: Ol�, Sou novo aqui na lista, meu nome � Daniel Pellegrini, sou estudante de gradua��o no Brasil sem experi�ncia no pgsql. Antes de tudo, gostaria de dizer que j� tentei em outras listas mas n�o consegui a resposta, ou a resposta completa. Estou fazendo uma pesquisa que trata sobre SGBDs que rodam nos novos processadores PC de 64 bits, como Intel Itanium e AMD Opteron. Gostaria que voc�s me ajudassem em algumas quest�es. Primeiro, o pgsql d� suporte a essa arquitetura? De acordo com o Guia do Administrador (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/supported-platforms.html), existem vers�es, por exemplo, para SPARC e Alpha, mas n�o fala sobre as citadas anteriormente. Caso exista o suporte, gostaria de saber a diferen�a entre as vers�es 32 e 64 bits, se h� alguma diferen�a na sem�ntica ou algo do tipo ou se � s� a implementa��o e as caracter�sticas da aplica��o s�o transparentes para o usu�rio. Agrade�o desde j� a aten��o. Daniel Pellegrini ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
