When you install, un-check the initdb option on the initdb page of the wizard. Then, initialise the cluster after installation by running a command like: initdb -D ../data from the PostgreSQL command prompt window (there's a shortcut on the start menu). See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/app-initdb.html for more info on the initdb options. Once that's done you should register PostgreSQL as a service - see the 'register' mode of pg_ctl: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/app-pg-ctl.html Those steps are roughly what the installer normally does for you. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Oracle-compatible database company ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
