Colin,

Please keep your replies on-list. Isn't your concerns below better
answered by many instead of one?

Good.

Unfortunately, I can't really answer the above. I got involved with
Cygwin PostgreSQL in a previous life that ended with the dot com crash.
Hence, I never had the chance to experience Cygwin PostgreSQL in a real
production environment.

One poster reported good success with Cygwin PostgreSQL for about 30
users under Windows NT or 2000. Other NT/2000 users reported positively
for what I would consider medium sized installations.

Note that PostgreSQL 7.4 will support a native Win32 port. Maybe you
can use the Cygwin version for the time being and then switch over, if
necessary?
