I thank you all for throwing light on the question I asked. I was exchanging mails with one of the developers on PgFoundry. He made a comment and said 'Is anybody using PostgreSQL on Windows?'. I began to wonder, was the Windows version a toy? I head a software development outfit in Nigeria and our environment in predominantly Windows. People using Oracle, MSSQL and the likes on Windows. I thought PostgreSQL would be a substitute for such being an Open Source believer - Till now I have deplored much of Firebird for my clients on Windows. Well, much without much headaches I must say. >From your views, I can conclude that I must not go near using or deploying PostgreSQL on production Windows servers. Thanks for that information. But I was of the opinion that perfection comes out of practice and that certain crashes and experimentation(s) would lead to a better product adaptation. But I think Tim Allen's comment is quite unexpected and unfortunate. Tim Allen wrote: >Perhaps it's a 419 :-). But if so I can't see the catch yet - must be very subtle. What is 419 about expressing a concern and an interest? So because I posted from Nigeria and my view is a bit not aligned with your own I am a fraudster? I do not think we are in a chat room. Even if you must joke you need to avoid sentimental words. Thank you all. I think the matter is closed. ------- Best regards, Tope Akinniyi CEO ShepherdHill Software Lagos, Nigeria Do not forget: Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life.
