I've searched google and did not find any tutorials on installing
postgresql 8.2 on solaris 10. I would like to test performance of
solaris vs. linux which I'm much more familiar with. the gentoo ebuild
and fedora rpm do things like create startup scripts / users etc.

Is there a prebuilt package available for solaris 10 somewhere or
should I just follow the instructions here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/i...procedure.html
?

thanks,
gene

I have only seen up to 8.1.4. I would follow the source procedures.

i think sun give postgres support to all his solaris customers...
maybe they can help you?
if you want to do it yourself then you should get the sources and compile...

thanks for the advice, i would buy the support from sun but I don't
think they would support version 8.2 of postgresql. i've been able to
find some sample smf files for postgresql on solaris which should
help.

I also checked blastwave, and it does not have 8.2, too. Just a FYI.
