1.4) What non-unix ports are available?
Client
It is possible to compile the libpq C library, psql, and other
interfaces and binaries to run on MS Windows platforms. In this case,
the client is running on MS Windows, and communicates via TCP/IP to a
server running on one of our supported Unix platforms. A file
win31.mak is included in the distribution for making a Win32 libpq
library and psql.

PostgreSQL also communicates with ODBC clients.

Cygnus Unix/NT porting library. See pgsql/doc/FAQ_MSWIN in the

4.24) How do I do an outer join?
PostgreSQL 7.1 and later supports outer joins. In previous releases,
outer joins can be simulated using UNION and NOT IN. For example, when

PostgreSQL 7.1 and later supports outer joins. Here is an example:
SELECT *
FROM t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN t2 USING (col);
This will join t1.col to t2.col, and return any unjoined rows in t1
with NULL values for t2 columns. A RIGHT join would return unjoined
rows of table t2. A FULL join would return unjoined rows from t1 and
t2. The word OUTER is optional and is assumed in LEFT, RIGHT, and FULL
joins. Ordinary joins are called INNER joins.
In previous releases, outer joins can be simulated using UNION and NOT
IN. For example, when joining tab1 and tab2, the following query does
an outer join of the two tables:
SELECT tab1.col1, tab2.col2
FROM tab1, tab2
