Re: pgadmin3 installation on Oracle Linux 6.6 64-bit ? - Mailing list pgsql-general

my employer runs Oracle Linux 6.x and also Red Hat 6.x, so if we were to drop Oracle database and take PostgreSQL instead, I am afraid, everything must work on those two Linux platforms.

We pay for support from Oracle and Red Hat for Linux OS.

On the client OS we use Windows 7 64-bit so the PostgreSQL tools and all drivers (JDBC, .NET, etc) need to also work on Windows as well as on Linux.

If this is not available and we need to switch to Centos or another flavour of Linux, I am afraid, PostgreSQL is dead in the water, it wont even get a look in.
