PostgreSQL ReviewUninstalling PostgreSQL - Version: 7.3.3, 5/19/2005 01:45AM PST

Okay, I tried to be a nice guy. I've spent an hour trying to figure out how to uninstall this invasive program. I now have a new user upon entering my system. The user has no password that I know of and it is not listed in my user preferences.

Sure, the jokes on me for adding a program that installed with no instructions what so ever and some how got a "five star" rating.

Let's ad some warnings if this has no uninstall capabilities and stick this thing in a "for anti-mac nerds only category."

I've been using a Mac for 20 years and this is one of the most perplexing and aggravating things that has happened. Because this is so invasive and undocumented, I will have to give it a poor rating.

Sorry to those that feel I have been unfair here. Google and Yahoo searches have been of little or no help at all.

seem to hit http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ to get the instructions after installation. Any ideas how to finish the install and get things running?

like to thank you again for packaging this tool, but it doesn't seem to work on Jaguar. Can anybody be so kind to make a .PKG of postgres compatible twith Jaguar?

been acting very strangely ever since I installed this. First, I couldn't 'cd' to the root directory, but a restart fixed that. Then, some applications started crashing that never crash. Next, my screen went black and I had to force reboot. It's either this or 10.1.4... anybody had these experiences...

a scholar and a gentleman. 7.2 had only been available for a couple hours and he's got the new package free for downloading. I'm starting to appreciate OS X.

lot of improvements in the new version. Namely oids are no longer limited to 32 bits, so you may finally have database tables with more than 4 billion rows (just like you've wanted forever, right?). Also, they have supposedly made some great advances with certain optimizers, and merged the experimental plpython language with the official sources. However, with this package, you don't get anything but plsql.. no plperl, no plpython, no pltcl. It's still quite useful, unless you need to do something that plsql can't handle. Another note is that there is no longer any patch whatsoever required to compile this toy yourself, with only two or three small fixes I was able to get pltcl *and* plpython compiled, even though I'm using framework versions! No patches/fixes necessary at all if you're not looking to develop with either of them.

tables created under 7.1 are not compatible with 7.2. Obviously there are ways to import the data into 7.2, but you'll have to RTFM for that. :-)

it's missing is pltcl, which is pretty important if you're doing sufficiently low level stuff that plsql doesn't have syntax to handle. It also doesn't have plperl, but plperl is mostly useless anyhow.

excellent features which cannot be found in MySQL: procedural SQL (procedures, functions, triggers, rules), "select from select", full range of joins, full transaction support, and more. Judging from the beauty of the SQL implementation, it even surpasses Oracle - which fights in another class (enterprise databases), of course. I would use MySQL if it comes to pure speed for relatively simple non-transactional databases. For those who have to exploit the power of SQL or who have to run transaction oriented databases, PostgreSQL is the right choice. My thanks go to Marc for the work he's done. It's great to have a database with full SQL support on my PowerBook.
