If it's a supported CPU type and you've got a suitable build toolchain, sure. Seven or eight years ago we were getting a good laugh out of the fact that you could run PG on a PlayStation 2. The real issue with the kind of hardware you're describing is going to be the finite write lifetime of a flash device. For a low-update application it'll probably be okay, but PG could very easily destroy a flash in no time if you aren't careful to minimize updates. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
