Thread: Can Postgresql run under Windows?
Hi, I am looking for a database engine which: 1) runs under Windows (multiple versions) 2) Can be redistributed without additional fees as part of another product Is postgresql appropriate for this? If not, can you suggest a good alternative? Thanks very much for your help. Phil M.
SQLITE from sqlite.org & firebird from ibphoenix.com has been suggested to me which runs under windows and are royal-free. --- PhilM <pmorettini@earthlink.net> wrote: > Hi, > > I am looking for a database engine which: > > 1) runs under Windows (multiple versions) > > 2) Can be redistributed without additional fees as > part of another product > > Is postgresql appropriate for this? > > If not, can you suggest a good alternative? > > > Thanks very much for your help. > > Phil M. > > ---------------------------(end of > broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@postgresql.org ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

For the first question you have some alternatives: a) the free (or cheaper) one is using the cygwin to emulate unix\linux on windwos and so run postgresql on it b) you can modify the source and recompile it for windows ... i have no idea how much difficult is it (but i thing that this is so hard) c) you can buy some bussines version that exists ... i don't remeber the names but you can browse through www.postgresql.org in the FAQ For the second question i can't help you .... i'm a newbye!
