Downloading PostgreSQL

[Anon]

Hi Fellow PHPians,

I am a new PHP user. My site has been hosted
at F2S.com and they provide PostgreSQL support.

Also from various reviews, I have come to the conclusion that PostgreSQL is good.

To start with PostgreSQL I have to download and install PostgreSQL in my system at home.

After repeated trying I could not download PostgreSQL from their site

http://postgresql.nextpath.com/

or its Mirrors.

Please help.

Thanks & Best Regards.

Ok... try this...
go to rpmfind.net, and search for the postgres RPM.

You can also search altavista.com, for the RPM postgres version you want...

or finally go to ftp://ftp.redhat.com

and get the RPM.

Hope this helps.

Always try a mirror. Try this one:

ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/postgresql/

Build and enjoy. Interesting switchs for configure are:

--with-prefix=/dir/to/install/to
--with-odbc #build odbc interface. handy
--with-tcl # build tcl interface
--with-perl # build perl interface
--with-maxbackends=N #the default of 32 is too small! Numbers from 64 to 1024 seem good.
--enable-locale
--enable-multibyte
