Hi SkyHigh,
If you are asking what is need to run the 64 bit version of postgres, I think you would need hardward running the Alpha 64 bit cpu and software like tru64 UNIX OS. You would also need a gcc or cc 64 bit compiler. I think all of this is available from Sun.
Intel and other hardware manufacture are building a system to support 64 bit processing on the x86, but I don't think it fully cooked yet. After the hardware is available, all the OS and programs would need to recompiled to take advantage of the new hardware.
I hope I understood your question correctly.

HI SkyHigh,
I haven't hit that problem before. I wonder if this is a problem of the OS as opposed to postgres. If someone else dosen't come in to help, you can go to the postgres web site and join some of their mailing lists. Then you could email the list about this and see if someone can give you a hand. The postgres web site is at:

SkyHigh - exactly what syntax are you using when you try to call pg_dump?
PostgreSQL supports table > 2GB even on 32-bit platforms, so the problem is only with how pg_dump connects to the filesystem. -------------------------------------------
