Hi guys,

We received a query through the Advocacy site about whether we support
AIX 5.1 or not, so am trying to find out.

Just took a look at the Supported Platforms list, and the FAQ_AIX
document (for 7.2.x) and it doesn't seem to mention specific versions of
AIX that are supported.

Does PostgreSQL 7.2.x (and also 7.3 when it's released) support AIX 5.1?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Thanks Tom.  :)

Do you feel there's anyone around that would be able to give a
definitite yes or no?

Am prepared to say "it should work" as an answer, but would prefer to
give something more definite if possible.

Just being careful here.

I checked the supported platforms list for 7.2 at:

	http://www.us.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.2/postgres/supported-platforms.html

and saw:

	AIX RS60007.
	22001-12-19, 
	Andreas Zeugswetter (<ZeugswetterA@spardat.at>),
	Tatsuo Ishii (<t-ishii@sra.co.jp>)
	see also doc/FAQ_AIX

FAQ_AIX has specific version information.
