Hi All

I am relatively new to postgresql, have downloaded it and done some
exercises on how to use postgresql and can say i have picked up on it very
quicky. At the minute i have downloaded the sourcecode for version9.0.3 and
trying to compile it on my computer(win xp) but cannot find any documents or
tutorials on how to compile it or understand sections in the sourcecode.

What am trying to do is access dead tuples and have been advised i can
compile the source code and set the HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility() to true
and this should show all tuples.

Please can anyone advise on the best way to compile the sourcecode and also
change the HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility() to true.

Thanks
Aaron

The instructions for compiling on Windows are here:

Happy hacking!
