Thread: PostgreSQL Installer for Windows x64
Hi, Can I get a PostgreSQL Installer for Windows x64(EM64T)? That for 32bit Windows is available at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/ but I need x64 native version. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks, ebi

There is no such thing. PostgreSQL 64-bit is currently only supported on Unix based platforms. The 32-bit version for Windows works just fine on 64-bit windows, though. //Magnus

BTW, nobody wants to utilize much larger cache? Thanks, ebi

We hope to do this in the future, but we're not there yet. Basically, 8.2 and earlier relied on MingW for building which cannot do 64-bit. 8.3 will also fully support MSVC, which will be the default environment for the binary build. And since MSVC supports 64-bit, that's a good start on our path to support native 64-bit. > > The 32-bit version for Windows works just fine on 64-bit > > windows, though. > > I'll go this way. > > BTW, nobody wants to utilize much larger cache? You can do that with the 32-bit version! PostgreSQL mainly relies on the filesystem cache for this, and 32-bit pg on 64-bit windows will utilize that one just fine. The advantages of a native 64-bit version is mainly that you can use more *sort memory* (not very common requirement), or that you can use more registers and new instructions. //Magnus
Magnus , folks The only caveat i found in winxp64 is with psqlODBC my application dont work very well on it into xp64 platform, the work around was change odbc profile in favor of dns file , with dns file my application return to work, ok. BTW i using linux server without problems, but my client aplication layer was the problem :(. best regards MDC --- Magnus Hagander <magnus@hagander.net> escribió: > On Wed, Jun 20, 2007 at 10:17:10AM +0900, EBIHARA, > Yuichiro wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Can I get a PostgreSQL Installer for Windows > x64(EM64T)? > > That for 32bit Windows is available at > http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/ but I need x64 > native > > version. > > There is no such thing.
