Installing MySQL, PostgreSQL

Web Stack comes with MySQL. You can also install MySQL and PostgreSQL packages separately. See the Databases or Databases (System) subcategory of the Development category in Package Manager or type "sql" in the Search field.

To download and install a package by using the OpenSolaris Package Manager:

Select System > Administration > Package Manager from the desktop menu bar on your OpenSolaris system.
To find the packages you want to install, do one of the following steps:
- Select a Repository to search, select either the Databases category or the Databases (System) category, and select All Packages from the Show menu.
- Select a Repository to search, type sql, mysql, or postgr in the Search field, and press the Enter key.
- Select All Repositories from the Search menu, type sql, mysql, or postgr in the Search field, and press the Enter key.
A check mark in the Status column of the package list means that package is already installed on your system. If the package is not already installed, or if you want to update that package, select the checkbox to the left of the package name and then select the Install/Update button or the Package > Install/Update menu option at the top of the Package Manager window.
