Re: [GENERAL] No download of Windows binaries without registering?

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. 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? -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

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

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. Exactly which link do you click to get to the page that requires registration? I didn't get any, that was the question I was trying to ask.

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.
