Re: Creating an Independant Application

[John McCawley <nospam@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not quite sure I understand your question, do you mean that you wish 
to distribute an "all-in-one" installer for a client machine that will 
include both your app and PostgreSQL?

It all depends on the complexity of your database backend.  If this is 
small, quick-and-dirty app,  I don't know if PostgreSQL is the best 
match for a setup like that.  Other people on this list may disagree, 
but I tend to think that a full-blown RDBMS is overkill for that sort of 
problem.  If your app is in C/C++, you may want to check out SQLite:

If you're programming in a Windows-centric environment, you may want to 
consider using an Access .mdb backend and programming to it through ADO.
