Re^3: Convert script to use MySQL

1.4) What non-Unix ports are available?

Starting with version 8.0, PostgreSQL now runs natively on Microsoft 
Windows NT-based operating systems like Win2000, WinXP, and Win2003. 
A prepackaged installer is available at http://pgfoundry.org/projects/
+pginstaller.
MSDOS-based versions of Windows (Win95, Win98, WinMe) can run 
PostgreSQL using Cygwin.

But what about DBD::Pg? Last I checked (a month or two ago), it would not compile or install on Windows with the native windows port of PostgreSQL, it would only install using the cygwin port.	[reply]

Am I going to put the first release inbto a production environment? Nope! Sure PostgreSQL is, for the first time, on our radar screens, and when it is truly production ready on Windows we will evaluate it there. It is nice on *nix, and we have ported a few things here to use it for evaluation purposes. But that is far as we can risk going right now in a princiaplly Windows shop. jdtoronto	[reply]
