You will need to unzip the file that you downloaded. It includes an
installer that you will simply need to run. From there, you will
probably need to read some of the online documentation available from
the http://www.postgresql.org website. Of course, you will also need
some understanding of SQL (google for SQL tutorials). Finally,
postgresql doesn't come with a frontend a-la microsoft access. The
frontend included with windows is pgAdminIII and is installed when you
install postgresql.
