and besides, I think 8.1 is not supported on win32 anymore.

I really wouldn't recommend running the 8.1 database on windows. Win32 releases of Pg see big improvements with every version and 8.1 is really not recommended or supported anymore. 8.1 was ... deficient ... on Windows. Run a recent Pg server on 64-bit windows, or run your 8.1 server on a UNIX machine and connect to it from 64-bit windows using a modern 64-bit libpq. Why 8.1, anyway? -- Craig Ringer
8.1 version doesn't make any sense anyway, on any platform. There's been so many improvements since, and if one wants to be conservative - go for 8.3, which has tons of improvements over 8.1, especially in area of performance.

we plan to upgrade to 8.4 the next time but currently everything is build with 8.1. thanks for your awnsers, so we wont try it.
but i think we will wait till 8.5 because of the 64 bit problem.
we did not upgrade because 81 has autocast and later version doesn't, so we need to check all our statements and triggers/stored procedures wich is currently in work.

PostgreSQL 8.1 for Windows became unsupported over two years ago due to technical issues: http://www.postgresql.org/about/news.865 http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy There were some major infrastructure changes in 8.3, including building the software using Microsoft's compiler instead of ported UNIX tools, that make it (or, even better, 8.4) a far better choice. There is no specific 64-bit port of PostgreSQL yet, one is in progress for the next version but it's still missing a few things: http://blog.hagander.net/archives/160-64-bit-Windows-in-PostgreSQL.html But you can run the regular 32-bit server just fine on the 64-bit versions, albeit with some concerns about client apps: http://blog.hagander.net/archives/73-PostgreSQL-vs-64-bit-windows.html -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support greg@2ndQuadrant.com www.2ndQuadrant.com

Just understand that PostgreSQL will be running in 32bit mode, which frankly on windows is not a problem compared to other platforms. Joshua D.

Ok, thats fine for us.
Most of our customers run Debian in 64Bit mode with Postgres 81 64 Bit, but some won't use a *nix.
Thanks.
