Thread: Distributions which contain postgresql
I'm looking for a semi-definitive list of
os distributions which contain postgresql
by default.
RedHat, SuSE, Debian and cygwin all seem to have
it. Does anyone know of others, if any?
Thanks,
elein

Does anyone know of others, if any? As a matter of interest, why are you interested only in operating systems which install PostgreSQL by default. To me, installing it by default, without giving the use a choice, is a bad thing. -- Dan Langille - BSDCan: http://www.bsdcan.org/

What I'd be curious about is for those that actually install PostgreSQL, do they actually *require* it for some reason, or do they just install it so that more disk space is used up? :) ---- Marc G.

It is slide fodder for a presentation I am giving. Since I only install from source, that will be the emphasis. But it looks good to see that postgresql "comes with" distribution. --elein On Mon, May 03, 2004 at 06:40:12PM -0400, Dan Langille wrote: > On Mon, 3 May 2004, elein wrote: > > > I'm looking for a semi-definitive list of > > os distributions which contain postgresql > > by default. > > > > RedHat, SuSE, Debian and cygwin all seem to have > > it.

Debian surely has PostgreSQL available for all installations but the user has to choose to install it himself.

I think she[1] means distributions that have PostgreSQL inside (you don't have
to go out there looking for it.
I think that all the major Linux distributions[2] have it, and maybe (not 100%
sure) the *BSD.
[1]: I suspect a "she" from the name elein. I hope I'm not wrong.
[2]: You can add Mandrake to the list.

Does anyone know of others, if any? I'm assuming you mean either as a default install or as an easily available bin or src handled by the systems package management system. If so, then: Morphix supports it since it's debian. Plus there's that Japanese live CD based on it that includes PostgreSQL by default. Gentoo supports/includes it. Yellow Dog. Fedora. Sorcerer. I'm certain we're missing about 100 here :-)

It integrates PostgreSQL (7.4.1) with: - wxWidgets/wxPython ( to build platform-independent, native GUIs) - Python (easy OO programming language for GUIs, shell scripting etc.) - Apache/mod_python (Web services, interactive HTML, etc.) - omniORB/omniORBpy (OO middleware improves component interaction via network) http://freegee.sourceforge.net/ Currently Beta.

But MySQL is included. This could be a blessing in disguise though. Apple tends to not update packages between OS releases. It would be wiser to use Marc's package instead. -- Jeff Self Dept. of Information Technology City of Newport News 757-926-3741
