Thread: Postgres Win32

Postgres Win32

We are a group of students of the University ORT from Uruguay. We are making our final project, so we can graduate of Programming Analysts. After an exhaustive research, we decided to use Postgres in our system, because we realised that it is the most suitable DB for it. The problem is that the company we are working for, doesn't have a Linux net, so our question is: Can Postgres run in Windows 95 or Windows 98? And how we can do it?

thanks ver much for your help

I downloaded and installed it on my Win2K server just to see if it worked.
It seemed to work ok, but I couldn't connect to it with PHP.  I didn't do a
lot of troubleshooting though.

No.  (You can compile the client library on Windows 95/98, but that's it.)

You can run PostgreSQL on Windows NT using the Cygwin toolkit, but getting
that to work can sometimes be a final project as well.

My advice would be to find a Unix box.
