Hi,
Would appreciate a lot if anyone could tell me if there is any
disadvantage/performance issue in using PostgeSQL on windows.

I search thru the archive but found not suitable answer.
Thanks for the help in advance!

I know of no disadvantages that are not a direct result of Windows.
Such things as the shared memory implementation, process switching,
general sluggishness, gui (if it a strictly server situation), etc.
Besides, PostgreSQL is fundamentally a 'unix thing'. It would be rather
like running MS Access on FreeBSD, only better because PostgreSQL is Just
That Good.

That said, you should have no trouble at all, and performance should be
reasonable.

I wouldn't recommend such a setup for a production server; the
reliability is just not up to par. (Use Postgres on almost any
flavor of Unix, instead.) For development, it reportedly works
fine.
