Thread: General Question
I am currently exploring SQL engine options for a project we are planning for the Macintosh OS X platform. Someone told me that PostgresSQL is available for OS X. Can anyone confirm, or point me in the right direction? Very much appreciated! Steve Henry
Steve, You should be able to compile PostgreSQL source with the gcc tools which come with OS X. Do you have development tools for OS X installed?

You can install Apple's developer tools and compile it yourself or use one of the pre- compiled distributions. Here are a couple of choices: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgsqlformac/ http://perso.wanadoo.fr/bruno.gaufier/xhtml/downloads.xhtml John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL
