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.

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?? Bob Pawley
