That may be the easiest way, but if your intention is to do serious, heavy-duty work with PostgreSQL, please do yourself a favor and learn how to compile and install from source.
- workhere-io 13y agoI've done some benchmarks with millions of rows, and a default PostgreSQL installed via apt-get on Ubuntu works fine. I doubt whether the majority of PostgreSQL users really need to install from source (especially considering how much harder it makes upgrades).
- jpitz 13y agoI didn't say it was faster, and I didn't say the majority needed to do it. The reason is to be able to customize your build and/or apply patches. Tom Lane fixed a production bug I reported in hours and this got me running fairly quickly.
- asdasf 13y agoWhere do people get this weird idea that typing "make" creates some sort of magic that makes the software faster or more stable or somehow better than having someone else type "make"?
- jpitz 13y agoWhere did I say it was faster or more stable?
- asdasf 13y agoI said: "faster or more stable or somehow better". Obviously you must believe that typing make causes one of those things, or you wouldn't have made your comment.

- asdasf 13y agoThat doesn't support your original statement at all. If you made the statement in error, then simply say so.
