Re: running postgresql7.3.4 under windows

Hi All

I am new to CYGWIN and Postgresql and trying to install the postgresql as
service in windows XP, so that each time the window startup the Postgresql
can start automatically. Please give me a direction of how to do it.

Regards and Thanks
Hubert Wong
