OK, there are builds at http://developer.pgadmin.org/~dpage/ Note that these are from an entirely new build machine for 9.0. There are new build OS's, new compilers, updated dependencies... in other words, expect something to go wrong. I did briefly test the Windows version - the server installed and ran OK, but pgAdmin 1.8 doesn't like PG 9.0 -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Hopefully we'll get a good turnout and get a lot of things tested. -- -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
From: Peter Geoghegan on 2 Apr 2010 13:10 Hello, I'd like to put myself forward to test Dave's alpha5 windows binaries tomorrow. I use that platform for about 75% of my pg work, and others tend to have limited enthusiasm for it (as I guess I would if I had the luxury of being able to), so that seems to be where I would be of most use. I seem to recall Josh complaining about a lack of windows testers too. What areas are of particular concern? I've been following 9.0's development from only a fairly high level. I suppose I'll try out my 8.4 app, which uses dblink and hstore, on 9.0 alpha5 and see if anything breaks, and play around with the features that are new to 9.0, as outlined on the postgres wiki for the "SFPUG Beta Test Day". This seems a little bit haphazard though. Could someone give me some additional direction? You should be aware that I'm capable of building postgres on windows, if that's useful. I might run the libpqxx 3.1 tests too, if that helps.

I just recently finished a full exploration of how the multi-threaded pgbench ends up working in practice, and will update/merge those two as part of that once I get the full data published where people can look at it. I've given up on expecting ad-hoc pgbench testing done without an extremely clear methodology to produce a lot of data, it's tough to get useful results out of that without a clear plan to follow for finding useful data points. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant US Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support greg(a)2ndQuadrant.com www.2ndQuadrant.us -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers(a)postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers |
