PostgreSQL
(ver 9.0.23-1)
Freeware


PostgreSQL is the most robust of the open source databases 
for PCs, and is the choice of many fortune 500 corporations.  

NOTE: This is the last Win2k version.

=====

Normally PostgreSQL is installed using a setup program, but 
for some reason the setup is not working on my system (it 
probably requires a supporting language such as "Visual C++ 
runtime" to be installed first).  If you can get the installer 
to function, use it, because it configures your environment 
and basic settings automatically.  

file = postgresql.zip


You can still install PostgreSQL manually, but you will 
have to configure the environment and basic settings manually.  
Simply extract the ZIP archive to a desired location, and 
edit the System Environment, System Path, and the PostgreSQL 
configuration files.  Remember, PgAdmin3 is a great help.  

file = pgsql.zip


To get you up and running quickly, I have included two batch 
files in the pgsql top level directory.  Run "initialize.bat" 
right after extracting the ZIP archive to set default variables.  
Thereafter, every time you wish to run PostgreSQL, first run 
"start.bat".  Note that neither of these files are necessary if 
you first (or later) manually configure the PostgreSQL settings.
