Thread: 7.5 Windows version
Is there any chance I can get a pre-release executable of the Windows native Postgresql so I can start doing some application development? I do not intend to deploy a buggy postgres, but even if it goes boom occasionally it will allow me to build the app so that when everything is finalized I'm months ahead on development. It's important to note that I mainly use Borland compilers so unless this will compile in c++ builder, I'll need executables. ===== "We'll do the undoable, work the unworkable, scrute the inscrutable and have a long, hard look at the ineffable to see whetherit might not be effed after all"
Hello Jonathan, Take look at URL: http://techer.pascal.free.fr/postgis/psqlwin/ That French guy has a binary version of PG for Windows. The zip is at URL: http://techer.pascal.free.fr/postgis/psqlwin.zip Note that I did not tried it! Good luck!

You might want to start with the cygwin version at http://www.cygwin.com Start using that today perhaps, and move over to 7.5 when it goes into Beta. > It's important to note that I mainly use Borland compilers so unless > this will compile in c++ builder, I'll need executables. You'll probably want to check the mailing list archive for the Win32 developers: http://www.postgresql.org/lists.html I *think* there's a nightly build available, but I don't know how usable the windows port is as a development target yet. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

Have a look at: http://momjian.postgresql.org/main/writings/pgsql/win32.html I have no idea how usable this is (just tracking the progress), but there's a binary snapshot. Holger
