1.4) What non-Unix ports are available?
- Client
-
- It is possible to compile the libpq C library, psql, and other
- interfaces and client applications 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 win32.mak is included in the distribution for making a Win32
- libpq library and psql. PostgreSQL also communicates with ODBC
- clients.
-
- Server
-
- The database server can run on Windows NT and Win2k using Cygwin, the
- Cygnus Unix/NT porting library. See pgsql/doc/FAQ_MSWIN in the
- distribution or the MS Windows FAQ at
- http://www.PostgreSQL.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN.
-
- A native port to MS Win NT/2000/XP is currently being worked on. For
- more details on the current status of PostgreSQL on Windows see
- http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/Windows and
- http://momjian.postgresql.org/main/writings/pgsql/win32.html.
+ Starting with version 8.0, PostgreSQL now runs natively on Microsoft
+ Windows NT-based operating systems like Win2000, WinXP, and Win2003. A
+ prepackaged installer is available at
+ http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller.
There is also a Novell Netware 6 port at http://forge.novell.com.
