Hello all,

Does postgres 8.3.* work on Windows w2k8 x64? I could not find any
reference to this on the website.

Thanks.

It should work just fine.

I think it does. It certaily works on w2k3 x64 and it should work on w2k8
on x86. I haven't heard a specific report about it working on w2k8 x64, but
since I have heard no report that it *doesn't* work, I think you can safely
assume that it works :-)

Thanks Magnus, Dave. On those assertive confirmations I shall get one
ordered! I'll assume you'll pay the bill to revert to W2k3 if it doesn't ;)

Probably not - but I am actually installing 2k8 x64 to do some
benchmarking right now. If you want to hold off for a day or so until
it's running and tested, I can let you know if it seems OK. I
seriously doubt there will be any issues though - we know it works on
Vista which is largely the same under the hood.

Re: W2K8

We have a server running in our test environment under 2k8 and it is
working for what we need to. It's not under heavy load, though. We
have quite a few 2k3 64bit installations that postgres keeps on keepin' on.
