Hi all!

My client wanna work with my DB under windows.
What is the best way to do this?

Maybe PG exists in windows implementation too?

Best regards,
Roman.

It is not complicated to run PostgreSQL on Windows.
I have absolutely no experience with this
The documentation covers this to some extent, IIRC.

Hi!

PostgreSQL runs with Windows (NT and 2000). Clientapplications should run
under Win9x / ME too (I never tried that).
Best way to get a running PostgreSQL-Server is installing cygwin
(http://www.cygwin.com/) an than carefully reading the NT-install-docs
(http://www.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html or
http://www.sevainc.com/PostgreSQL_running_on_NT.html).

If you want to run e real Server on Windows, you have to startup and
shutdown the postmaster automatically at system startup and -shutdown. ...
Startup should be easy ... but I had no idea, how do do the automatic
shutdown.

The other way ist to use an *NIX or linux - system as server and connect via
odbc (or DBI or any other client interface).
So the question is .. what exactly is your client?

kind regards,
Andre
