Обсуждение: Using Postgresql 9.2 on windows 7 and windows vista
Hi,
I am going to use PostgreSQL 9.2 with my application which runs on Windows 7/WIndows Visa 64 bit OS. Since these platforms are not officially supported by PostgreSQL, can i go ahead and use PostgreSQL on these platform?
Regards
D T

Ignorance evidently is bliss - I have 8.4, 9.1 (64-bit) and 9.2 (64-bit) happily running on my Windows 7 laptop. Ray. -- Raymond O'Donnell :: Galway :: Ireland rod@iol.ie

The open-source community provides the source code and wonderful on-line support from users and developers but pre-compiled binaries are typically contributed by a variety of commercial and non-commercial packagers (BSD ports, EnterpriseDB, Martin Pitt for the Debian/Ubuntu packages, etc.). However the "about" page does say that PostgreSQL "runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows." Cheers, Steve
