Hi,
I am looking at trying to integrate PostgreSQL into our software. Basically, I want to have our
software to spawn postgres so the user doesn’t have to concern themselves with managing the
database. I am using the Windows calls LogonUser and CreateProcessAsUser to start initdb as
an unprivileged user. However, I am running into trouble on Windows Vista. Initdb will startup,
but when it starts postgres.exe, postgres.exe seems to get hung up on the CreateFileMapping
call while setting up shared memory. This only happens on Vista. It works perfectly on Windows
NT4/2000/XP/2003. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this type of situation and
could lend any help.
Thanks,
Greg
