Depending on your distribution you should be able to install 32bit binaries alongside 64bit binaries; for example in Debian you can do: http://www.unixtutorial.org/2008/03/install-32-bit-deb-packages-on-64-bit/ Alternatives would be to build the code yourself as Scott said, or to copy the binaries across from your 32bit system. Assuming you did the latter you'd need to make sure you got all the appropriate libraries as well which may be a bit of a fiddle---especially to keep up to date. Then again, if you're building it yourself you'd need all the libraries anyway so you may as well figure out how to get 32bit packages installed in your 64bit system anyway. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

For the purpose, I suppose pgpool-HA(actually heartbeat)+pgpool-II+Slony-I might work, but I'm not sure heartbeat does work with 32/64bit combo. Heartbeat does work with 32/64 bit combo. However, CARP is another (simpler) option as well. Additionally, if you were going with that solution, you're likely using a VIP, so adding the complexity of pgpool isn't really required either...for better performance you could use pgBouncer (if you really needed connection pooling). In any case, your HA solution (Heartbeat/CARP) could definitely trigger a slony switchover to minimize downtime, but might end up losing some transactions due to the asynchronous nature of slony. Though, as others have intimated, the best solution out there is for you (if you want synchronous HA) is to get another 64 bit system for your secondary, or even install a 32 bit OS on your 64 bit system, so you have 2 32 bit systems. In which case you'd probably want to add DRBD in to the mix for your active WALs.. -- Chander Ganesan Open Technology Group, Inc.

What about running a 32bit build of PG on the 64bit machine? How would one go about doing something like this?

[GENERAL] log shipping from 64 bit linux server to a 32 bit linux server
According to the documentation it's not possible to log ship from a 64 bit server to a 32 bit server. I just want to confirm that this is the case before I waste a whole lot of time trying to set it up.

slony? That sound more like a question than an answer :) Can I presume it doesn't care about the architecture of the OS?
