RE: Which DB?

[eric . laney]

Yeah, the PostgreSQL team's official statement is that Windows is only
usable via the Cygwin utilities, and that they have no plans for a native
version on any Microsoft platform.  However, unlike mySQL, they don't have
different licensing requirements for Windows vs. Unix.  Last time I
checked, you had to jump through some registration hoops with mySQL on
Win32.

Meaning that it is basically unsupported under Windows. There are binaries
but I haven't been able to find any install docs (at least ones that don't
mention using the cygwin port of gcc to compile the libraries) and it
doesn't look like its anywhere as simple to install as mysql is under
Windows.
