We've already done a fair amount of testing of PostgreSQL on Sparc hardware and Solaris, so it's probably not all that interesting... :-/
However, about an hour after you sent through your message, we received this one from Myk Melez. He's asking us if there is a publically available PostgreSQL server, and there isn't yet, so I'm wondering if you'd be willing to setup a PostgreSQL server on your Sparccenter 2000 and let anyone anywhere connect to it, for a while at least.
We wouldn't want it to be extremely long term, as you never know what un-cool things people could decide to store in there, but it might be useful for a week or two after Myk's article becomes available for readers.
Would you be interested in this?
:-)
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift

Subject: [GENERAL] publicly available PostGreSQL server?

Is there a publicly available PostGreSQL server? I'm co-writing an
article for an online journal that includes information about
Mozilla's upcoming database support, and I'd like to point readers to
a PostGreSQL installation where they can try out an example app
without having to install their own server.

Hi all, I didn't find any other list compatible with this post, I hope it is the right place. I got a sparccenter 2000 (sun4d) few weeks ago and I wondered if the postgresql team was interested in testing postgres on it. It has only 2 CPUs at this time but I may get more cpu and system boards in the next month. I thought it would have been interesting to test postgres on uch an architecture.Are you interested ? Would you be interested ? It runs solaris 8 and linux, but linux doesn't support smp on sun4d :/ ... and since the kernel team doesn't work on sparc32 anymore, I thought it could be used by user-land software projects. The machine is located on an dsl lins 128/512kbps. seeya a+
