Thread: how just install psql on windows?
Hi, can I just install psql on windows? Just the client without the server. There ist the server release as zip-file that includes psql so I at least hadn't had to actually install a service with a db cluster but having to keep all the server binary around is a wee bit overkill when I just need the client.

I do think there should be an installation option in enterprisedb's Windows installer, to install just client libraries, and optionally the various client utilities (in addition to psql, pg_dump etc can be useful on a client-only install). -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
You can install pgadmin, it contain s psql. 2011/9/22, Andreas <maps.on@gmx.net>: > Hi, > > can I just install psql on windows? > Just the client without the server. > There ist the server release as zip-file that includes psql so I at > least hadn't had to actually install a service with a db cluster but > having to keep all the server binary around is a wee bit overkill when I > just need the client. > > -- > Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general > -- ------------ pasman
