PostgreSQL 8.3 released by the community
Posted:

PostgreSQL 8.3 has just been announced by the community:
http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.918
The ARC case to integrate 8.3 into Nevada has been approved and I'm
currently working on getting this done. 8.2 has recently been
extended with 64 bit binaries, and 8.3 will of course also come in 32
bit and 64 bit versions.
There are also plans (and an approved ARC case) to eventually remove
8.1 from OpenSolaris, to avoid having too many versions. There will
be a solution available to allow people to upgrade their databases.
Independently of this, I have also written a short description of how
to build PostgreSQL on Solaris:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/DBonSolaris/BuildingPostgreSQL
This is currently only for the 32 bit version, I will update with 64
bit version later.

Hi
When you are remove 8.1 database, what will happen to the client
libraries ? Currently, PHP component (part of SFW consolidation) is
depending on PostgreSQL 8.1 client library ? Should I have to upgrade
this component to now link against 8.2 ?
thanks

Oh, is it? When I wrote the ARC case, I checked to see if any other
packages were marked as depending on any of the PG 8.1 packages, and
didn't find any. So if PHP really does depend on PostgreSQL 8.1, yes
it will have to be upgraded before 8.1 can be removed.

I just checked the current SFWNV package definitions:
% grep postgr SUNWphp*/depend
SUNWphp524-pgsql/depend:P SUNWpostgr-libs The shared libraries required for any PostgreSQL 8.1.10 clients
The installed file /usr/php5/5.2.4/modules/pgsql.so does indeed depend
on the PG 8.1 client library, but this file comes from the above
package, not from the general PHP packages.
This package will then have to be upgraded.

Hi
For build 79, we separated our PHP packages so that PHP Database
support is included in separate packages. This is done , mostly based on
customer's feedback, to reduce the number of dependencies to
successfully install PHP5 package . Currently, CR: 6658437 is created to
track this issue
thanks

I think for 64-bit I had to add -m64 for CFLAGS and an additional
DTRACEFLAGS=-64
to tell dtrace to build 64-bit probes
I didnt had to change anything but I was not linking against many of the
features out there..
