Thread: Re: Postgresql requirements

Marcio,

Please post instead of sending private email.  I have been on vacation.
You most likely would have already received a response from someone else

Sorry, I am not qualified to answer the above.

Pretty much any machine that can run Cygwin.

Since cygwin is an emulation layer, when running PostgreSQL on it you
need to be careful with the number of concurrent connections you make to
it. For instance, our Mammoth PostgreSQL for windows application is
hard-coded to a maximum of 50 connections. For that reason we have seen
clients use PostgreSQL + Cygwin + Windows in development or low-load
environments.

I don't know how the planned native Windows version of PostgreSQL will
perform, but I imagine it'll be much more robust than the Cygwin
version. Still, the cygwin version is completely usable, just not as
scalable as a linux/unix solution.
