PostgreSQL on windows...

Hi,

I'm currently trying to find some information about running PostgreSQL on
Windows (2000/XP).
To my knowlegde there is a version that does not require cygwin to be
installed.

For the moment I have a few questions regarding this release (assuming it
exists).
Do you have any homepages/docs for this release?
I would prefer an official site but any help here is welcome.
Is the sourcecode available for download?
What version of PosgreSQL does this release exist for?

Best Regards,

There is no "official" version of a PostgreSQL build for windows except
the cygwin version. There is an unofficial compile on the sourceforge
site (iirc sourceforge.net/progects/pgsql/) based on 7.3, it has known
issues but has been known to work.  There are plans to have an official
win32 build in the next release, if it does happen check back for beta
testing sometime in late July. If you need something sooner than that, I
believe SRA (and a few others) have commercial version available. Hope
this helps.
