There seem to be a few. It looks like the official one with the installer. http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.3.7/win32/ I admit I didn't try to install Drupal on XP. My interest in PostgreSQL this time was a quick&dirty reporting tool and I wasn't that willing to see which other packages was going to install other than Drupal. > > This honour our CMS and it should be an incentive to avoid to > > consider Postgresql as a poster child. > > I wonder if any other open source DB comes bundled with Drupal on > > Windows. > You could offer one. I've no personal interest in Drupal on Windows currently... but still that lower the bar of a lot of people willing to try Drupal on Windows quite a bit. Actually the overall installation process of the things I needed was painless but I didn't try to install Drupal on XP. If installing Drupal with that bundle is going to be as easy as what I tried, that package is really going to be a good tool to promote Drupal... with all the consequences a Drupal/PostgreSQL installation may imply on a larger scale. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
