PostgreSQL most definitely works great on Solaris x86 ! At UC Berkeley, we have our undergraduate students hack on the internals of PostgreSQL in the upper-division "Introduction to Database Systems" class ..
http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs186/ The "official" platform is Solaris x86 - that's where the students get accounts and they have to get their code working on that platform as the TAs will only test and grade their submissions on Solaris x86. (Besides, I also got TelegraphCQ running on Solaris x86 .. just for kicks though .. and TelegraphCQ is based off of pgsql-7.3.2) -- Pip-pip Sailesh http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sailesh ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
