Hi Jayadevan, We're adding to our server farm, which is Windows. We use Windows as our application is .NET based, and related components in our systems require Windows. Switching to *nix is not an option.
I'm just after some assurance that all the extra 32bit components in Postgres will run OK under 64bit Windows. I mean allegedly *anything* 32bit is supposed to run under 64bit, but it's not always this simple in practice. -Brendan -----Original Message----- From: Jayadevan M [mailto:jayadevan.maym...@ibsplc.com] Sent: Wednesday, 8 September 2010 4:42 PM To: Brendan Hill Cc: pgsql-general@postgresql.org; pgsql-general-ow...@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Postgres 32bit on Windows 64bit, related components > We're about to purchase a new server for our Postgres 8.4 database. > We’d like to go with Windows 64bit for possible future developments, > but are happy to stick with 32bit Postgres + Npgsql, ODBC, OpenSSL, > slony2 and libxml2, libpq. Any specific reasons for choosing Windows? Once in a while, I see someone posting issues about PostgreSQL on windows and replies which go 'Windows? hmmm...not sure about that ..". Of course, those were not questions about queries/query tuning etc. Those get answered. These questions mostly deal with crashes/recovery/security related and so on. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
