Re: Major problems installing PostgreSQL on Win2k

That is upto you, but I too downloaded Cygwin and pgsql but eventually went
with the native port. I think it is much better, you get pgsql in the
program files menu so you can just work with it like other windows program.

Please keep postings on the list
