Thread: Alpha FreeBSD port of PostgreSQL !!!
is anyone working on the port of PostgreSQL for Alpha FreeBSD ?? I have been waiting for over a year very very patiently !!! I really love my Alpha FreeBSD box and I want to use PostgreSQL on it... but postgresql does not build. If they need a box I am more than willing to give them complete access to my Alpha ! please let me know thank you nathan

As I said I don't mind giving you access to my box (root) cause I cannot use it since I don't have a database on it.... let me know nathan

Not that I know about. DEC/Compaq was kind enough to lend the project
an Alpha for testing, but it's running Linux (RedHat 6.2).

Let me get back to you after we finish wringing out the known Alpha
portability issues on the Linux box. What with the fmgr changes,
7.1 has at least a shot at running cleanly on Alphas ... but there's
still mop-up work to do.

We've also got a copy of True64 to throw onto the machine, and I *have* to work on getting FreeBSD running on it too ... never enough hours in the day :( Jeff, feel like trying out the True64 install and seeing how it goes? Worst case, we have to install Redhat from scratch *shrug* Tom, anything on that machine that you wanna backup? Or its all safe?

No problem for me. Just keep us posted on which OS it's running today

I defined a procedure
CREATE FUNCTION meta_class (varchar) RETURNS varchar AS '
...
' LANGUAGE 'pltcl';
This works fine. But when I want to call it from another tcl procedure I
get errors:
bf2=# CREATE FUNCTION foo (varchar) RETURNS varchar AS '
return [meta_class $1]
' LANGUAGE 'pltcl';
bf2'# bf2'# CREATE
bf2=# bf2=# select foo(class) from weapon_Types;
ERROR: pltcl: invalid command name "meta_class"
This IS possible -- isn't it?
