    Many of AIX customers were requesting to have an open source database on AIX. Now we have one.

    PostgreSQL is an open source object relational database management system. 

    PostgreSQL 10.4 is now available on AIX toolbox.

    You can also use yum to install PostgreSQL and all its dependencies from AIX toolbox.

     

    Thanks

    Is this pure packaging effort from your side or do you run initial set of sanity tests as well ?

     

    warm regards

    Uusually to we can find this from the package naming conventions being used postgresql-10.4-1gcc.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

    Here aix6.1 means that this package is built on aix6.1 and can be installed use on AIX6.1 and any higher versions.

     

    Yes. We run the default testcases which comes with open source packages and also manual sanity testing we do to make sure all basic functionalities are working fine.

     

    Thanks,
