Hello John,

Thank you for your response. If you or someone can provide steps on how to bundle PostgreSQL on AIX (using IBM XL C compiler), that would be great so I can
 try it out to see if works for AIX 7 platform. I’m new to AIX platform and appreciate any help that you can provide.

Thank you,
Payal Shah

Can you please confirm if PostgreSQL 9.2.4 is supported on AIX 7 platform? In the following URL, it mentions support for AIX 6 (but not AIX 7) -

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/installation-platform-notes.html

it should work fine, although I've not personally tested.

why 9.2.4 and not the latest 9.2.9 with 5 rounds of bug and security fixes ?   bug fixes since 9.2.4 include...

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-5.html

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-6.html

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-7.html

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-8.html

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-9-2-9.html

note that 9.2.6 and 9.2.9 both fixed some potential data and/or index corruption bugs.
