h2. PostgreSQL and SMF
PostgreSQL has been integrated with [SMF|http://opensolaris.org/os/community/smf/] in [Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE)|http://developers.sun.com/sxde/]and [Solaris 10 8/07 or later|http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/index.jsp]. If you are using Solaris 10 11/06 or earlier and want to SMF enable PostgreSQL, see refer to this [How-to Guide| http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/postgresqlhowto.jsp#2]
 
SMF (Service Management Facility) creates a standardized control mechanism for application services by turning them into first-class objects that administrators can observe and manage in a uniform way. These services can then be automatically restarted if they are accidentally terminated by an administrator, if they are aborted as the result of a software programming error, or if they are interrupted by an underlying hardware problem. SMF is simple to use. Developers can convert most existing applications to take full advantage of SMF features just by adding a simple service manifest (XML file) to each application and using a few SMF commands to import the service description and activate the service.

PostgreSQL has been integrated with SMF in [Solaris Express Developer Edition (SXDE)|http://developers.sun.com/sxde/]and [Solaris 10 8/07 or later|http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/index.jsp]. If you are using Solaris 10 11/06 or earlier and want to SMF enable PostgreSQL, see the "Administering PostgreSQL on Solaris" chapter.
By default, two PostgreSQL services are configured for 8.1 and 8.2 respectively. Both of these services can be enabled as long at the port numbers are different.
