Re: PostgreSQL on AIX platform

Hello Frank, I apologize for missing version part. Currently we use 9.2.4 in other platforms and that’s the reason we want to use same version for AIX as well. I’ll follow up with my team to see when would be a good time to upgrade to 9.2.9.

I need to install PostgreSQL on AIX 7 platform and was mainly looking for the steps on how to do that. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Payal

Payal,
I think you completely ignored john r pierce...any reason you're using 9.2.4? Whoevers going to help you will want to be testing on what you're eventually going to compile

Hello John,

Thank you for your response. If you or someone can provide steps on how to bundle PostgreSQL on AIX (using IBM XL C compiler), that would be great so I can try it out to see if works for AIX 7 platform. I’m new to AIX platform and appreciate any help that you can provide.

Thank you,
Payal Shah

Can you please confirm if PostgreSQL 9.2.4 is supported on AIX 7 platform? In the following URL, it mentions support for AIX 6 (but not AIX 7) - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/installation-platform-notes.html

it should work fine, although I've not personally tested.

why 9.2.4 and not the latest 9.2.9 with 5 rounds of bug and security fixes ? bug fixes since 9.2.4 include...
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-5.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-6.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-7.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-8.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-9.html

note that 9.2.6 and 9.2.9 both fixed some potential data and/or index corruption bugs.
