there is no solaris 7.2... but to check installed packages use "pkginfo".

no, I need to know if Postgre is >7.2

pkginfo doesn't help. it seems this is some 'custom built' postgre and pkginfo reports:
VERSION: release 5.10
but that seems like solaris version or something.

I need to be sure postgre version is above 7.2

edit:
I found this:
" How do I tell what PostgreSQL version I am running?
Run this query: SELECT version(); "

but don't know how to run query..

ld.so.1: psql: fatal: libpq.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

edit:
I have found the following in documentation file (usr/local/pgsql/doc/html/pgtcl.html ) :
Code:
TITLE="PostgreSQL 7.2.1 Documentation"
HREF="index.html"><LINK

is it safe to assume postgre is v7.2.1 ?


edit2:
solved, by modifying .bashrc to include LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Postgre

thanks.
