To: postgres@postgres.berkeley.edu Date: Wed, 15 Sep 93 14:36:02 EDT Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Resent-To: postgres-dist Resent-Date: Wed, 15 Sep 93 11:34:20 PDT Since postgres does not support my platform yet and I don't yet have the time to implement the dynamic loader, I would like to use postgress without the dynamic loader. My question is, therefore, how usable is postgres without the dynamic loader? On a related note, I think I remember reading of a HP/UX implementation of postgres using shared libraries instead of the dynamic loader. If shared libraries are as functional as the dynamic loader and more portable, could the postgres group support this method too? Would a port be easier using shared libraries instead of mucking around with COFF internals? (Speaking for only myself, but the COFF internals and dynamic loaders seem rather daunting.) thanks, erik --------------------------------------------------------------- Erik van Gilder PO Box 1943 evangild@mwc.edu Fredericksburg, VA 22401
