Hi,

I'm new to linux and postgresql. We use a windows2000 server and I'm
wondering how I can run postgresql on it. Is there a front-end available
too?

Can anyone give me some explainations or give a site with all the info?

Thanks,

Eli

RE: postgreSQL on windows2000

yes you can. go to http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/lists.html and
download the cygnus windows tool kit. the binary install comes with
postgres pre-built so if you don't want to build it yourself you
don't have to.

after you install cygwin you will need to read the postgres config
document found in c:\cygwin\usr\doc\cygwin\postgresql-7.1.2.readme.
note you don't want the readme that is in usr\doc, you have to go
to usr\doc\cygwin.

for more support on postgres on win2k you should subscribe to the
pgsql-cygwin mailing list.

from what i have seen and read there aren't any really good win32
gui front ends. i have heard good things about pgaccess (a tcl/tk
ms access replacement) but have not yet installed it.

good luck and have fun!

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
