7.5 Windows version

[Jonathan Barnhart]

Is there any chance I can get a pre-release executable of the Windows
native Postgresql so I can start doing some application development? I
do not intend to deploy a buggy postgres, but even if it goes boom
occasionally it will allow me to build the app so that when everything
is finalized I'm months ahead on development.

It's important to note that I mainly use Borland compilers so unless
this will compile in c++ builder, I'll need executables.

Hello Jonathan,

Take look at URL: http://techer.pascal.free.fr/postgis/psqlwin/

That French guy has a binary version of PG for Windows.

The zip is at URL: http://techer.pascal.free.fr/postgis/psqlwin.zip

Note that I did not tried it!

Good luck!

Bernard

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

You might want to start with the cygwin version at http://www.cygwin.com
Start using that today perhaps, and move over to 7.5 when it goes into Beta.

You'll probably want to check the mailing list archive for the Win32
developers: http://www.postgresql.org/lists.html
I *think* there's a nightly build available, but I don't know how usable
the windows port is as a development target yet.

(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ma*******@postgresql.org)

Have a look at:
http://momjian.postgresql.org/main/w...sql/win32.html

I have no idea how usable this is (just tracking the progress), but
there's a binary snapshot.
