PostgreSQL Support
|
|
|
|
|
|
PostgreSQL is a freeware database server that is user
|
|
developed, maintained and supported. It was originally
|
|
known as Postgres, then as Postgres95. It is not ANSI
|
|
SQL compliant but it is getting closer with every release.
|
|
|
|
For support on PostgreSQL, look in the following places:
|
|
|
|
* ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/
|
|
* http://www.postgresql.org/
|
|
* Text files in directory /usr/src/pgsql.
|
|
* Text files in directory /usr/src/pgsql/docs.
|
|
* The FAQ, located in /usr/src/pgsql/doc/FAQ. The
|
|
latest version may be found at
|
|
http://www.postgresql.org/ under documentation.
|
|
* Digests of all of the PostgreSQL mailing lists are
|
|
archived at ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/majordomo/.
|
|
* The mailing list, which are described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support Mailing Lists:
|
|
|
|
* Announce for announcements.
|
|
* Ports for OS-specific bugs.
|
|
* Bugs for other unsolved bugs.
|
|
* Questions for general discussion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mailing Lists for Developers:
|
|
|
|
* Hackers for server internals discussion.
|
|
* Docs for the documentation project.
|
|
* Patches for patches and discussion.
|
|
* Mirrors for mirror site announcements.

probably only be interested in this mailing list.
|
|
* All non-bug related questions regarding PostgreSQL's
|
|
version of SQL should be restricted to this area.
|
|
* All installation related questions that do not
|
|
involve bugs or failed compiles should be restricted

|
to this area.

area.
