Deploying app. using PostgreSQL

От

Дата:
I developed an app. using VB.NET 2003 and PostgreSQL 8.1.3. I want to deploy
this app. at customer site. It is not sure that they are having an NTFS
partition or not. Do we need to create an NTFS partition to install
PostgreSQL?

I also want to know whether there is a separate PostgreSQL client version
that need to be installed at the client side, as with other database
softwares like Oracle.

iirc ntfs is required for at least one feature, tablespaces.  the
installer may require it as well.  in any case, you pretty much want
to do ntfs anyways.

you only need the client side driver.  this could be the npgsql driver
or the odbc driver in thats case.  both can be installed via the
installer.  all other modules including the server itself are not
required.
