I'd be surprised if someone has made the Postgree to work on the Raq since
Cobalt never publishes anything regarding this issue, and it is only
available through their Professional Services. Even their professional
services wouldn't recommend using the Postgre 'cause the Raq depends on this
database and any single "glitch" would simply bring the whole server down.

Hello,
I am trying to use POSTGRESS on our server.  I am good at working with
POSTGRESS comands but in the past the database has been created for me.  I
do not have root access to the server but I could get someone to do anything
that was necessary as root to get things to work.  I currently host a
website within that RAQ3 server.  I am going to do all of my work under a
database directory in my website area.  I am assuming this is fine once I
get the database defined!

When I try to run initdb, I get the following message:
initdb does not know where to find the files that make up Postgres (the
PGLIB directory).  You must identify the PGLIB directory either with
a --pglib invocation option, or by setting the PGLIB environment variable,
or by having a program called 'postconfig' in your search path that outputs
an asignment for PGLIB.

Does this mean I need to specify the path to the POSTGRESS directory or does
this mean that initdb needs to be ran in the POSTGRESS directory the first
time you create a database?  I have been reading that initdb creates
template1 which is like the sample database that everything else is created
from.  However, I need to get this started and I am concerned that I may
need to specify special parameters on initdb that I don't know the first
time?

Finally, when you do createdb DATABASENAME, will this run from any directory
on the server or do you have to actually have to write the full path to the
POSTGRESS directory on the server in front of createdb?

I apologyze for being dumb at this point but hopefully someday I can help
someone out!

Thanks for your time.
