Hi, I'vew been using Postgres since version 6.0, so for a considerable period of time now. I have written quite a lot of code for postgres and would be very reluctant to move to another database. Unfortunately quite a few view-related queries are broken in 6.3.4 and I would like to upgrade. I do have a question about the future of Postgres on Digital Alpha (we use almost exclusively DEC machines), as I have not managed to get any of the 6.4.* versions to compile or run on DEC Alpha. I downloaded the newest snapshot, managed to get it compiled and it failed all except 8 regression tests. I assume that has a lot to do with the Alphas being 64bit machines. Are there any plans to continue to support Alpha's, or should I give up and look for an alternative? I would be happy to compile snapshots and I can fix simple syntax bugs etc to help to get postgres running on Alphas again, but I cannot get it fixed by myself (I've tried and just got lost in the code). Cheers, Adriaan
