[HACKERS] AWS RDS now supports PostgreSQL!

They blocked all outbound internet access to the testdrive servers -- only telnet and ftp were allowed. Count me in for the OpenVMS porting effort (but I guess I will apply for an account seperately as I might port other things to OpenVMS in the future). I believe the porting effort is larger than a new Unix port but smaller than the Windows port, as most of the Unix and POSIX functions and system calls are supported on OpenVMS. MySQL has around 10 functions changed or written specifically for OpenVMS, most of those are related to utime(), $UMASK $UMASKDIR, open(), and Unix pathnames. (I think utime() support was added a few years ago to OpenVMS 7.3 8.0 -- so may be the code was added to MySQL for earlier VMS versions.) PostgreSQL uses fork(), which is not supported on OpenVMS. However, the techniques used by the WIN32 version of internal_forkexec() in src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c give the VMS version a good starting point. Lastly, are we going to support ODS-2 disks?? And are we going to require GNV installed for building and running PostgreSQL on OpenVMS??

The implication is that lib$spawn or system() will fail when used this way. http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/794 So we will likely need to use sys$creprc() in internal_forkexec().

To others: Given that Ingres was ported to OpenVMS, and given that many other opensource apps have been ported to OpenVMS without a lot of effort, I believe we should at least try before giving up OpenVMS. Rayson P.S. Ingres has a number of VMS users: http://community.ingres.com/forum/dba-forum/653-will-ingres-ported-openvms-itanium.html http://www.groupsrv.com/computers/post-3095363.html Lastly, are we going to support ODS-2 disks??
