Thread: Postgre 8 beta 5

Postgre 8 beta 5

From

Date:
I am novice in postgre, and I do not speak english very well
 
I installed the postgresql 8-beta5 on my computer windows XP. This computer will be my server.
 
I execute the "start service" (button "start->program->postgresql->start service) on ther "server", and all work fine.
 
My question is: I do not know what is necessary to access this postgre (server) of another computer (windows XP). This "another computer" will be my client.

Hi Clayton,

First of all both of your computers must be configured for a TCP/IP
network and the PostgreSQL server must be started with TCP/IP access
enabled, which is the case now by default since v8 if I'm not
mistaken.

Then on the client computer you need a program that can communicate
over TCP/IP with PostgreSQL.  There are a lot of these for free on
the web.  One example that works on Windows and respects text
encodings is Eduphant which you can download from
<http://aliacta.com/download>.

Cheers,
