Many of the other postings answered your question, but one thing to keep
in mind when running PostgreSQL + Cygwin, because Cygwin is an emulation
layer, it's not as robust as running it straight on Linux.
For instance, our Mammoth PostgreSQL server for Windows is hard coded to
a limit of 50 concurrent connections. Anything about that, things get
unstable. For that reason, most of our clients run PostgreSQL + Cygwin
in low-load or development environments.
There will be a native community version for Windows soon and I presume
the performance will be better. Until then PostgreSQL + Cygwin is
completely usable, just not as scalable as a pure Linux solution.
