PostgreSQL and Win32

Post by spammich »

Sorry, if this is an obvious question, but I did a search here and nothing came up so...

I'm wondering if anyone was using PostgreSQL on Windows for development. I've been using MySQL for a while, but I wanted to get into some more complicated database techniques so I thought I'd try postgreSQL.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to build a Linux machine right now (or compile PostgreSQL from source) so I was looking for a binary windows release. Anyone know of one? Also, what do people use as a phpmyadmin equiv with postgres?

Thanks.

WIndows binaries available from their mirrors, one of them being ftp://ftp.us.postgresql.org/binary/v7.3 ... 1wina1.exe

phpPgAdmin - not as good as phpMyAdmin, but as a browser tool its very usable.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

I also found Firebird http://firebird.sourceforge.net/ which is based of Borland's Interbase and seems to have a lot of the major sql features missing from MySQL (foreign keys, triggers, stored procedures, subqueries, etc -- and yes, I know about InnoDB, but that doesn't do everything AFAIK).
There's Windows binarys for Firebird available.[/url]
