Editing PostgreSQL (section)

== Platforms ==
PostgreSQL is available for the following operating systems: [[Linux]] (all recent distributions), [[64-bit computing|64-bit]] [[AArch64|ARM]] and [[x86-64]] installers available and tested for [[macOS]] version 10.14 and newer,<ref name="OS X" /> [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] (with installers available and tested for 64-bit [[Windows Server 2022]] and [[Windows Server 2016|2016]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/|title=PostgreSQL: Windows installers|website=www.postgresql.org|access-date=2021-08-26}}</ref>), <!-- too much detail? And maybe outdated: compilable by e.g. [[Microsoft Visual Studio|Visual Studio]], version 2013 up to the most recent 2019 version) --> [[FreeBSD]], [[OpenBSD]],<ref name=openbsd>{{cite web |url=http://ports.su/databases/postgresql,-main |title=postgresql-client-10.5p1 – PostgreSQL RDBMS (client) |work=[[OpenBSD ports]] |date=October 4, 2018 |access-date=October 10, 2018}}</ref> [[NetBSD]], [[DragonFlyBSD]], and these without official (though unofficial likely available) binary executables, [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]],<!-- [[OpenIndiana]],<ref name="OpenIndiana" /> --><ref>{{Cite web |title=Installing and Configuring PostgreSQL - Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Service for PostgreSQL Guide |url=https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19680-01/html/821-1534/ciajejfa.html |access-date=2023-02-04 |website=docs.oracle.com}}</ref> and [[illumos]].<!-- and listed as historical in official docs, while [[HP-UX]] postgresql-12.4 still available, and v12 about to be unsuppoerted.<ref>{{Cite web |title=HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre {{!}} postgresql-12.4 |url=http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Users/postgresql-12.4/ |access-date=2023-02-04 |website=hpux.connect.org.uk}}</ref> This is maybe wrong, or at least likely no longer very helpful: Most other (modern) Unix-like systems do also work. -->

PostgreSQL can be expected to work on any of the following [[instruction set architecture]]s (and operating systems): 64-bit [[x86-64]] and [[32-bit computing|32-bit]] [[x86]] on [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]<!-- docs no longer mention which i.e. Windows XP (or later)--> and other operating systems; these are supported on other than Windows: 64-bit [[AArch64|ARM]]<ref name="AArch64" /> and the older 32-bit [[ARM architecture family|ARM]], including older such as [[ARMv6]] in [[Raspberry Pi]]<ref name=raspi />), [[RISC-V]], [[z/Architecture]]<!-- aka S/390x in docs -->, [[IBM System/390|S/390]], [[PowerPC]] (incl. 64-bit [[Power ISA]]<!-- aka PowerPC 64-->), [[SPARC]] (also 64-bit),<!-- named historical in v.16: IA-64 [[Itanium]] ([[HP-UX]]), i.e. "Alpha, Itanium" (but not PA-RISC, likely an omission since HP-UX now listed as historical) --> [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]] and [[PA-RISC]]. It was also known to work on some other platforms (while not been tested on for years, i.e. for latest versions).<ref name="SupportedPlatforms" />
