Working with Windows you normally don't compile PHP but use the Win
binaries. To connect to a PostgreSQL database you must uncomment the
php_pgsql.dll in php.ini.

When you have postgresql support compiled into PHP, then PHP connects
directly using native PostgreSQL calls (libpq), no ODBC layer to deal
with.

Who knows... six months maybe?

> How difficult is it to set up cygwin?

Not very, I used postgres via cygwin for development for a long time. 
Works fine, but it's slower and not quite as stable as you would want
for production purposes.

I don't see how ODBC fits in to this at all.  There is no need for ODBC
if postgresql is running via cygwin, running on a remote linux box, or
even native on windows.

[GENERAL] Pgsql on Windows

2003-10-13 Thread Dennis Gearon
How soon will 7.5 come out? (yes, I know, 7.4 is beta right now).

How difficult is it to set up cygwin?

I'd like to make a drop in Apache/Postgres/PHP application on a windows 
computer for someone in my organization.

I'd PREFER to avoid ODBC if at all possible.
