Hi,
I'vew been using Postgres since version 6.0, so for a considerable
period of time now. I have written quite a lot of code for postgres and
would be very reluctant to move to another database. Unfortunately quite
a few view-related queries are broken in 6.3.4 and I would like to
upgrade.
I do have a question about the future of Postgres on Digital Alpha (we
use almost exclusively DEC machines), as I have not managed to get any
of the 6.4.* versions to compile or run on DEC Alpha. I downloaded the
newest snapshot, managed to get it compiled and it failed all except 8
regression tests. I assume that has a lot to do with the Alphas being
64bit machines. Are there any plans to continue to support Alpha's, or
should I give up and look for an alternative?
I would be happy to compile snapshots and I can fix simple syntax bugs
etc to help to get postgres running on Alphas again, but I cannot get it
fixed by myself (I've tried and just got lost in the code).
Cheers,
Adriaan
