I am planning to do a Masters thesis in databases. I am planning to use Postrgres as the backend database. My server program will access the database. The client will present the data using Motif GUI. The client will get the data from the server program by communicating thru TCP/IP sockets. I have'nt done something like this before, so it's my first major venture. I just want that somebody who has this kind of experience in Postgres to advise me whether this can be accomplished using Postrges 4.2. I will be working in Sun SPARC, Solaris 2.3. I also have one more doubt about the C compiler to be used. Recently I saw in this group that Postres can't be compiled using GNU 2.6.0 C compiler. Is this true, since we have a GNU 2.6.0 C compiler. I think other than this we have a SPARC compiler C 3.0. Thanx in advance Raghavan Chakravarti ============================================================================== To add/remove yourself to/from the POSTGRES mailing list: send mail with the subject line ADD or DEL to "postgres-request@postgres.Berkeley.EDU" If this fails, send mail to "post_questions@postgres.Berkeley.EDU" and a human will deal with it.
