Sorry, but any Windows user who thinks he doesn't need security measures

patching, and ask yourself whether you aren't glad that it can't be used
to get admin privileges on your Windows box.
So a vulnerability exists on Windows even if PostgreSQL is only accepting local connections?
The poster asked about embedded databases and that is what I'm trying to address. I realize this has been thoroughly hashed about in the archives, but I don't recall any discussion of PotgreSQL 8 on Windows.
