Great, Thanks for the quick respose. I will include pqsql-cygwin from now on. Our eventual goal is to plug in postgresql into IIS - did you have to do something similar? Are you using postgresql as the backend db for a websever? I'm not able to find any documentation on how to do this; perhaps you've done something like this as well?!? If you have any information on this please pass it along, I will update you on my progress as well.

I never used the above mentioned pre-built Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.0. I have only been using Cygwin PostgreSQL 7.0.2 and later that I built myself. Hence, the only problems that I had was with people confusing my distribution with the one on the PostgreSQL ftp site. > I didn't see a win32 > version of 7.1x anywhere on the ftp site - do you have the binary version I have contributed pre-built Cygwin PostgreSQL distributions (the current one is 7.1.2-1) that are automatically installed/upgraded when you install Cygwin. See the following for the announcement: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00069.html Note that I have a yank and put error in the title -- the announcement if really for 7.1.2-1 *not* 7.1.1-1. Sigh... Also, see www.cygwin.com for more details and their very easy to use setup.exe installer. > and does it work better than v7.0? Yes, there have been many bug fixes (that affect the Cygwin version) and unlimited table widths have been added in 7.1. Why would you want to use PostgreSQL 7.0 when a pre-built 7.1.2 already exists? In the future, please post to pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org, so others can benefit too. Thanks, Jason -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: 732.264.8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corp.
