Postgres

Post #137,726 by orion 1/25/04 9:15:06 PM Reply	Postgres Great but I cannot find a Win32 Native port of Postgres that does not require Cygwin or something to run it in. I suppose I could install Cygwin, but it would require anyone running the VB program to install it to get the VB program to work. Also if I used MySQL they would have to download and install MySQL as I cannot redistribute that either. I think I have to buy a MySQL license to make closed apps that access it, as VB apps cannot be open sourced according to MS's EULA. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

If it is a small business, a Linux server can be set up for them. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
