Re: PostgreSQL on NT

Yes that would be great. Would you also be able to provide instructions on how to
install a functional win32 PostgreSQL server. There are many DBA's, interested
users etc. who are not programmers that would benefit from a win32 version that can
be installed i.e.. "setup.exe". PostgreSQL would gain a greater audience/user base
by providing a server that can be easily installed into the win32 environment.
This would include not just PostgreSQL, but the entire cygwin/PostgreSQL solution.

With regards to win32<>Linux, I'm on both sides of the fence. If I had a "solid"
win32<>Linux PostgreSQL solution I might be more inclined to use/develop using
PostgreSQL. As it is I, cannot use PostgreSQL for my win32 clients, so I am
stuck with other Server's that provide support for win32<>Linux. This should be a
wake up call to all the propeller heads (I am one) out there working on
PostgreSQL, wiggle that hot dog in front of their noses and they will come...
