Thread: Windows pgbench
It seems that **pgbench** is typically included as part of the PostgreSQL server installation. If you're looking for a standalone installer for Windows, it doesn't appear to be readily available. However, you can still use **pgbench** on Windows by installing the PostgreSQL server, as it comes bundled with it
Hi admins, is there a pgbench windows installer? or the only way to get the Windows version is installing the Postgresql server??Thank you very much in advancekind regardsMauricio Fernández

It would be helpful if EDB split the Windows installer into Client and Server. Not only would the installer file be smaller, but there would be no worry about forgetting to stop the postgresql service.Getting it in the MS Store might be possible, too.

Installing PostgreSQL and disabling the service is a smart workaround to access **pgbench** without running the database server constantly. If you need any tips for running **pgbench** or creating benchmarks,
Thank you all for the answers..Finally I've installed Postgresql 17.4 Windows version, and disabled the service....and that iskind regardsMauricio FernándezEl lun, 10 mar 2025 a las 17:43, Ron Johnson (<ronljohnsonjr@gmail.com>) escribió:It would be helpful if EDB split the Windows installer into Client and Server.
