Thanks for your comments and moving it to general group. We would like to know which is the most stable version in Postgresql ?. Because Postgresql may undergo changes and will have the version incremented. In this case, do we need to do the upgrade frequently ?. Of course, its good have the latest version but this cannot be done each and every time after deploying our application to end customers. Please advise.

Installer kit name : postgresql-8.0-ja Is there a reason you're not using 8.1.4? 8.0 was the first windows release, and as such there's a number of issues that were improved in 8.1. You should at least be using the latest 8.0 version (8.0.8). > Scenario 1: While installing PostGRE 8.0, we got an logon failure at the end BTW, it's PostgreSQL or Postgres.

Make sure that you have the right password for the account that PostgreSQL will be running under. I often find it's easiest to just delete that account and let the installer create it for me. > Scenario 2: In one of the computers we managed to install the PostGRE 8.0 > but the database initialization could not be performed.

These could be issues surrounding administrator rights. PostgreSQL will refuse to start if the account it's running under has Administrator rights. > Please shed some light on this.
