I've already built the PostgreSQL database. Now I want to turn it and the
Delphi interface (host) into a distributable application.
I am using Installshield and I need to pick up the files in Postgres to
include.

Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Creating an Independant Application
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:
http://www.sqlite.org/
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.

Hi
I have managed to turn my host software into an executable. It runs well
using my installed database and server.
What files in PostgreSQL do I need to include to have the host software,
the PostgreSQL server and database run as an independant application??
