Is it at all possible to get pgsql installed on a system without access to a
shell?  A friend is wanting me to install a particular bulletin board system
on her website; however, her hosting plan only provides the MySQL database -
the bulletin board requires pgsql.  And her hosting plan has no ssh access.

So, is it possible to install the database with only ftp access to the
account?

most web languanges ala php allow you to execute arbitrary commands
(using back ticks in php) so theoretically she could probably do it.


That reminds me having seen something like a shell implemented in PHP:
google for php-shell. I've never used such a beast, though.

Ciao,
