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.
