I'm probably too tired to multitask this much :-) Sorry, misread
things completely.

You can certainly get it without registering. The link from the
PostgreSQL download page points to
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do, where no
registration is required.

How did you end up at the page above? Perhaps we have a link that
points to the wrong EDB page somewhere?


A sorry, I did not follow the link from the Postgres page, but came from 
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/download.do

Sorry for the confusion, I didn't realise the link from the postgresql.org site 
bypassed the registration screen.

um, that's what I said isn't it?  What I meant to say anyway was that
the link I gave contained a pretty prominent link to the page that
Thomas gave that doesn't require registration.

I didn't get any, that was the question I was trying to ask.  Maybe I
should have been clearer somehow? :)

The link from there, for "Postgres Plus", also brings me to a page
that doesn't require registration..

Exactly which link do you click to get to the page that requires registration?

You get there from the official PostgreSQL download page:

hum,

  http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows

seems to point there.  Maybe the link there from:

  http://www.postgresql.org/download/

could be clearer somehow?

[GENERAL] No download of Windows binaries without registering?

2009-08-26 Thread Thomas Kellerer 

Hi,

it seems that you cannot download PostgreSQL from the EnterpriseDB website without first registering with EnterpriseDB. I can somhow understand this cumbersome requirement for their own products, but I do not like the taste of it for the "plain" PostgreSQL builds. This doesn't sound right to me that I have to reveal my Company, Email *and* telephone number in order to download it. 

If one goes directly http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgbindownload.do this is not necessary (which is what I expect), but as far as I can tell, there is no direct link to that page. 


I would appreciate it very much if the download link for the "plain" PostgreSQL 
builds from http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/download.do would lead to the download 
page directly without the registration screen.

Regards
Thomas
