Hello all, I have to build a web application and for
this  I have to use one of my client's Windows32
server or workstation.
Is postgresql 8.0 native suitable for a production
environment?
Thanks for any advice.
Fabri

That really depends on what you mean by production.  Are you gonna
handle a workgroup of 10 or 15 people doing a phonebook type
application, or are you going to handle 250,000 transactions a day in a
reservation system?

For certain values of production environment, pgsql on windows is
probably fine.  But until YOU test it under your own load, you won't
really know, and neither will we.

I have been using the win32 version of PG 8.0 on a windows 2003 server since
sept 2004 and it's for a  financial daily pricing application using apache
2.5x.

I have a Delphi win32 app that the users use to update the database with data
from a spreadsheet, the app then updates the tables used for the daily
pricing web CGI and this happens twice per day. The web page is then hit all
day long pulling the info from the PG tables.

I ported the app from  MS SQL server 7 and I can tell you it runs just as good
if not better.

We even ran this whole thing on the early win32 beta's from Aug 04 and never
had one hicup.

Very impressive is you ask me(PG 8.x).


later,

Tony
