An idea I like, because I have entrenched windows clients also, is to run things that run best under Linux on VMWare (vmware.com) and to run good Windows things (like desktop apps) under Windows. Linux can be either the host or guest OS under VMWare, so the options of which OS is truly in control are symmetrical. I'm proposing this to my customer to solve a completely different set of problems (not PostgreSQL related) but the approach might have merit here as well.
If anyone has tried this please respond. Thanks, Rick Neil Dugan <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org hes.com.au> cc: Sent by: Subject: Re: [GENERAL] PostgreSQL still for Linux only?

Have you tried to setup the PostgreSQL server on a Linux computer (with replication) and use it via PostgreSQL clients running on Windows(tm) computers. This way your clients will still have the OS they are use to and the database server will be running on the best OS for it. --- cut --- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
