The only available native win32 version of PostgreSQL was some beta I once got a link for by the company that did the win32 port. It's based on 7.2. This company killed the win32 port shortly before it got completed if I remember the postings on postgresql-dev correctly. Right now Bruce Momjan and the original win32 porter (who left the company in the meanwhile, "left" being an euphemism ...) are working on getting the win32 stuff ready before PostgreSQL 7.4 beta, which is scheduled for July 1. PostgreSQL 7.4 beta will also feature a new FE/BE protocol, and the server will use this protocol. The client will support the new and the old protocols. If I'm not mistaken this will mean that you'll have to recompile pyPgSQL against the 7.4 client libraries to be able to access 7.4 servers. It's also not entirely sure if the win32 stuff will be ready for beta testing until July 1. If it isn't, it will be deferred for PostgreSQL 7.5. Same for PITR. > I've read that pypgsql doesn't work with native windows version of PostgreSQL.

Hopefully. > I dont wanna installing cygwin so I'am interested if this new version of PGSQL will work with pypgsql on windows (if yes on which versions of Windows). I realize that my query may be a little premature, but who knows - maybe for somebody answer is simple today. Fortuntely, compiling pyPgSQL on Windows is relatively easy, so you could do that yourself when the beta comes out. Chances are I'll try to do that myself, though and I might provide testing pyPgSQL binaries for 7.4 beta. -- Gerhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
