Stability in Windows?

Hi!

We planned to port some very old DBASE db into PGSQL.

But somebody said in a developer list that he tried with PGSQL (8.x) and it was very unstable in Windows (and it have problem when many users use it).

Another people also said that they used PGSQL only in Linux - and there is no problem with it, only some patches needed for speeding up writes...

What is your experience in this theme?

Do you also have same experience in Windows?

The user number is from 20 to up 100 (concurrently).

Thanks for your every idea, help, link, information about this.

Regards:

The first native Windows port was 8.0 and I think it is generally agreed it did
not settle until 8.2. Since then it is stable and in wide use.

Hmm...

I have heard that PostgreSQL is stable on a Microsoft O/S, but Linux
tends be a lot faster and more reliable than any Microsoft O/S.  Which
is probably why you hear people saying they use Linux for PostgreSQL -
it is more a comment about Microsoft software quality.
