    upgrade

    What you have is not really a Postgres problem but a Linux problem. Your distribution does not have the required libraries for Postgres to run. What version\brand of Linux are you running? The big dependency in your list is the C library. You should investigate what satisfying these...

    Brainstorm...

    I think hos2 has a really good point. If you can afford the processing overhead it would have advantages to pgp sign each downloaders shopping cart. It would provide an incentive for the downloaders not to share the files right away because they would have to give out their private key. Of...

    How convert list in tuple???
