The debugger will work pretty much out of the box on Linux exactly as it does on Windows if you use the one-click installers. > I still have to find an howto for installing edb in Debian. > Could it be packaged for Debian if there were resources? We use a universal installer for edb (by which I assume you mean Postgres Plus Advanced Server). Our customers run such a wide range of platforms that it's simply not practical for us to build and properly QA distro-native packages for every possibility, especially the less commonly used platforms like Debian (I know, don't shoot me, but we're more likely to see RHEL or Suse Enterprise in production). -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
