Hi,
I know we will be using at our own risk, I have read the
"experiment al" warnings, but still PostgreSQL is a very attractive
RDBMS for the Windows application we are developing. Most customers
will want a simple single-machine version, where the program will be
storing its data in a local database without the user knowing much
about it. Some customers will want a central database and will
probably be given the option to choose between PostgreSQL and Oracle.
The problem is to choose the RDBMS for the single-machine, single-user
version.
What if we have crashes or other critical bugs? Should we expect
reasonable support from the developers in such cases? Is the number
of Win32 developers decent? I mean, the Win32 project is not, I hope,
supported by one or two key people and would go down if they decided
to become sailors instead? :-)
Needless to say, the developers will have all kind of help from us in
tracking down important bugs, even access to our machines if
necessary.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match 1 1112
I've been using the Win32 port of PostgreSQL for several months now on a
pre-production test machine without much difficulty, in in my
environment I've had more trouble with MySQL in general than PostgreSQL
on Windows I'd recommend installing the beta and trying it out.
Depending on the features you wish to utilize it sounds like SQLite may
also be an option, it is a light-weight embeddable SQL solution, it uses
a single file to store the database in making end user backups much
easier and does not require an additional process on the client OS since
it is embedded in the application.

I am updating a utility to capture serial port data that was originally
developed as a DOS app using the outportb() and inportb() routines. I am
trying to re-work it as a Win32 app using Borland C++ 5.02, but am finding
that outportb() and inportb() are not available for a Win32 target. There
is no fancy flowcontrol or packet protocols being used, just simply
capturing incoming serial data.
What is available to me for such simple...

Hi,
I need to connect with an existing Win32 application via port 1001. Can some
one help me to find out how to?
When I create my own remoting application then I can use
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownClientType
but now I don’t think this will work.
The only thing what I know is that I need to connect via port 1001 and the
name of the remote application (TCPSockServer.exe)

To begin with I am not sure this is a correct place to post this, if not
please let me know.
The PostgreSQL traditionally refuses to run under root account on Unix (for
security reasons). On win32 the situation is the same (it will not run if
run under user belonging to administrator group).
In my opinion this should not be the case on win32 as developers are likely
to belong to the administrators group and might like to run the database...

Hi,
Is it possible to use inline asm to make intrrupt calls in Win32 appl. for
reading some hardware information such as reading port's status register,
etc? Any restrictions or Impossible?
I need to talk to the LPT port directly in Win98/SE, or at least need to get
current status of the port(printer). - Paper out, power off, etc.
Any information will be appreciated.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
