1: Postgresql 6.4 with OpenACS?
Posted by Henry Look on 09/15/03 02:15 AM
Is there any version of OpenACS work on postgresql 6.4?

or

Is there anyway possible to disable functionality to make OpenACS possible to work on postgresql 6.4?

I need to use postgresql 6.4 with OpenACS because I need this version to perform testing on database replication software Postgres-R.

Thank you in advance.

and you do know that erserver was open sourced recently right? no need for an ancient version of postgresql to get free replication...

I know erserver is open source recently and perform replication but, as far as I know, it only perform master-slave replication and do not allow multiple master replication. ie. update everywhere.

I suspect it would not work well with Postgres 6.4

You could port back the queries that didn't work, I suppose. I'm not sure, but I imagine a lot of the core still might be compatible. I haven't been around long enough to know, however.
