Dear Bruce, Taking the example of pgAdmin III, which reached nearly one million hits in December (http://www.pgadmin.org/stats/webalizer), nothing seems impossible for PostgreSQL. Why not create an all-in-one bundle offering PostgreSQL, Apache, Php and PhpPgAdmin for Win32 and ... mass-release it. There is no need to create a complete installer. There could be a single installer executing other installers (like it is sometimes the case in the Win32 world). So that installers remain different. A single web page like "http://win.postgresql.org"; in 40 languages is enough to mass-release PostgreSQL. With an installer and a single web page, PostgreSQL Win32 could quickly reach one million downloads every month. There is no need to look for complicated strategies. Every month, there can be 10% more downloads. In the end, people will even forget the name of MySQL. Cheers, Jean-Michel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAjW11extoHHj2YFMRAggVAJ0e/W4D/tnm/AtMK0nbjfDROtv/fwCfQ/eC KAnaz5T3PCceVlVS6zirsqg= =N1NM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
