Is there something like MAMP, but uses PostgreSQL instead? I found a couple PostgreSQL dmg''s, but one was < 8.x. For those who use PostgreSQL on Mac, how''d you install it (fink, package, please don''t say compile!)? Thanks, Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Thanks for the replies everybody. I also found PostgreSQLX: http://perso.orange.fr/bruno.gaufier/xhtml/prod_postgresql.xhtml It''s just an app that you click to launch (yay), but it''s 7.x. Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Joe, look at this: http://www.magic3.org/postgrex/ , it''s only japanese, I know.. and I can''t understand a word... but looking at the screenshoots it seems like a nice frontend gui for Postgresql 8.1.4 for Mac OS X (PPC and Binary). Let me know how it works if you have the courage I hadn''t to install it on a test machine!

You can also take a look at EnterpriseDB. It''s Postgres with extensions to make it handle Oracle PL/SQL better. Their main selling point is they''ve added ''Oracle compatibility'' to PostgreSQL. They have an OS X version with a front end GUI but it''s 8.0.x and not 8.1.x ... If you decide to use it with Rails, be aware that it doesn''t have a Unix domain socket that I am aware of and it uses port 5444 to communicate. So you would have to use TCP/IP port 5444 in your database.yml if you go this route .... -- G. http://www.enterprisedb.com On 6/24/06, Joe Ruby <joeat303@yahoo.com> wrote:> Thanks for the replies everybody.

It was trivial to do so, and the documentation on the PostgreSQL site is pretty good. -- James
