These binaries are built for Solaris Express and has been tested on
Nevada build snv_70 (SXDE 8/07) and snv_79 (SXDE 1/08).  They may not
work on older builds.

NB this is not an officially supported Sun released product.

How to install the Solaris binaries of PostgreSQL 8.3.0
-------------------------------------------------------

Go to the directory where you want to have it installed and

  bunzip2 < postgresql-8.3.0-sxde.i386.tar.bz2 | tar xpf -

The binaries will be installed in directories under
'postgres/8.3-community', so if you install under /usr they will be at
locations similar to the existing PostgreSQL 8.2.

The directory is called '83-community' in order to avoid any confusion
with the PostgreSQL 8.3 which will soon be integrated into Solaris and
shipped with future releases of the O/S.

If you install as root, the files will be owned by the user
'postgres', unless you add the option character 'o' to the tar
command, in which case they will be owned by root.

Make sure /postgres/8.3-community/bin is in your PATH
*before* /usr/bin, otherwise you will by default use the PostgreSQL
8.1 binaries.
