</color><FontFamily><param>Arial</param><smaller>download cygwin,
download cygipc
and follow the above instructions
its a snap to do and it works fine, the biggest headache I had was unzipping
the .bz files.
There's a pg -cygwin mailing list at postgresql.org
install the two, open cygwin,type
ipc-daemon &
then type
/bin/postmaster -i -D /share/postgresql/data &
and there you go
useful utility:
pgadmin 11 fom sourceforge
enjoy
There's also a native commercial windows version at dbexperts.com( I think) but
I've no idea what its like. For hacking about with pg and unix cygwin is a pretty
gentle introduction, though I can't see it being of any use in an actual working
system.
hope this helps
