Local Store on Mac?

I think about setting up a local Store on my Mac. I searched for this
in the mailing list archive but did not find anything on this topic.
In the Source Code Management Guide there is no reference specific to
Mac OS X either.

What is the best way to do that?
I guess PostgreSQL is my only option?
Are there any traps to be aware of?

I'd be thankful for any advice.

Cheers,
Bernhard

Re: Local Store on Mac?

Postgresql does seem likely to be the main option. I believe there are as yet no Oracle drivers for Intel MacOSX, and I suspect SQL Server isn't available. But Postgresql works nicely under MacOSX. I've used it for several years for my local repository, and have had no issues. For database maintenance tasks the PGAdmin tool is nice, but at least used to be Windows-only.

Bernhard,

I used Marc Liyange's PostgreSQL package (http://www.entropy.ch/
software/macosx/postgresql/) to install it on my Mac and then
followed the instructions in the Source Code Management Gudie. Other
than initially forgetting to poke a hole in the firewall for remote
access, everything "just worked" :^).

Regards,
Ed

pgAdmin is also available for MacOS X:

Alan, Ed,
Thanks to your help I managed to set up a local Store repository
using PostgreSQL on Mac OS X.

It did not go very smooth because of my lack of previous knowledge
about both, Store and PostgreSQL. Perhaps worth noting:
1. The environment name 192.168.1.34_storedb did not work. When I
changed it to localhost:5432_storedb it worked.
2. I had to use bern instead of BERN to avoid a debugger when
installing the Store tables.
3. pgAdmin3 works on Mac OS X and was very helpful.

Thank you very much!

Cheers,
Bernhard

Thanks for your suggestion. I have found it.

By the way, your music apps look really great! I found them today and
plan to get myself a copy of Harmony Navigator soon.

Cheers,
Bernhard
