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.
