Thread: FAQ/Documentation about Postgresql on Windows XP
Hello everyone, I have been looking for a tutorial on setting up Postgresql on a Windows XP machine. I'm currently doing development on my home machine. Eventually we'll have Postgresql on a Windows server, but we want to try out and test code on a local machine before going live. I've found some tutorials about using Postgresql in the Cygwin emulation, but we want to run Postgresql natively. I need to use some of the forms and reporting functions in the EMS PostgreSQL manager. Can anyone point me to some tutorials or documentation that can help me figure out how to set up and use Postgresql on a local, stand alone, Windows XP machine? Thanks in Advance, Adam
Hello, you could try to install the Windows version. It has a setup.exe I did not come across a tutorial for clicking on a setup.exe but as I see the demand now, I will think over it. ;-) Sebastian PS: Cygwin is not needed any more since version 8 of PostgreSQL cooneyb@socket.net schrieb: >Hello everyone, >I have been looking for a tutorial on setting up Postgresql on a Windows >XP machine.

Look at doc/FAQ_MINGW and you can look at the pginstaller FAQ too. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073
