Thread: Redhat Database ???
Does anyone know what the supposed enhancements are to the Redhat database? It is called an enhanced version of pgSQL 7.2.3by Redhat. Can't seem to find specifics on the Redhat site. thanks, Brian

I'd suggest e-mailing them. I *think* the main enhancement is Red hat Support, especially for Postgres on clusters and RH Advanced server. However, I'm not really sure. -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Most of the value-added is in the GUI tools (RHDB Admin and Visual Explain). The server itself contains a few additional bugfixes beyond what's in the standard 7.2.3 release, but nothing earthshaking AFAIR. > Can't seem to find specifics on the Redhat site. Not sure where you looked, but the primary public page for RHDB is http://sources.redhat.com/rhdb/ regards, tom lane Red Hat Database project

Someone is building a Linux/Apache/Postgres/ColdFusion box and is asking me if he should compile the Postgres modules inwith Apache... I have always just downloaded binaries and used the RPM tool with RedHat... Perhaps he is trying to build pg7.3 ??? Is it necessary to compile in support to Apache... ColdFusion is doing all the database work I think. Thanks, Brian
Hi ! I have a LinuxRH7.3/Apache1.3.27/Postgres7.2/ColdFusion5.0ProLinux box. And some experience with this stuff. I will gladly help anyhow I can. For starters, I installed a custom ( i.e. 'hand-picked' packs ) from RH 7.3 distro cd:s, nothing fancy, just leave out anything you dare and choose the essentials. And ofcourse Apache, Pg + their devels, gcc etc. and other libs for compiling various components. Then install cf and verify it's ok and running. Upgrading to pg 7.3 should be no problem, nor absolutely necessary if all db-work is going to be via cf. Then it really depends on cf-code and cf-server settings + perhaps some adjustment to pg-settings and start swithces and naturally apache settings, as cf is, i'm afraid, quite a monster when it comes to memory usage etc. First thing to do, after installing everything, is to register your box in RHN and update everything - kernel, apache + other packs. Unless you want to do this by hand. What kind of site ? How much traffic expected ? Hardware ? How many dbs ( their size ? ) and maybe virtual domains ?

Hi ! Yes, I mean no, I did not compile Apache. Just rpm and then some tuning. Building this kind of box by hand and heart is not so easy task, take my word for it. Unless, of course, you are a guru.
