Re: Remove Postgres from Solaris 10

Here are my two cents:

You dont want to remove packages installed with Solaris by default.. 
However you may use your own Postgres packages or binaries in different 
location and not enable Postgres by default. (PostgreSQL is an integral 
part of Solaris 10 )

Don't forget some of Solaris's own tools like SunMC now uses the bundled 
postgres in the operating system and hence depends on its existence  and 
tested against it.

Removing PostgreSQL packages installed by default is not sup****ted since 
upgrades to the Operating system will depend on those file installations 
to exist out in the preset locations. However that does not mean you 
cannot have your own binaries and use them at the default ****t. The 
default database is not enabled by default which means there is no 
collision of ****t numbers unless you want both database clusters to be 
enabled. If thats the case than changing ****t numbers in either your 
database cluster or the default db instance (if init'ed by using svcadm 
start postgres_82:default  for the first time) in 
/var/postgres/8.2/data/postgresql.conf  should be fairly easy.


Other option is to use "OpenSolaris" CD images which does not have 
PostgreSQL installed by default as part of the "CD image" install as of
now.
