Hello community,
I need to execute pgsql2shp from the command line, but I am not interested
in the other functionalities offered by postgresql on this machine. I have
been told that installing an instance of a spatial database on the machine
in question just to serve as a workaround for one utility executable is not
something that IT will approve of, due to the extra overhead of software &
DB maintenance, security configuration and server system resources...
Is there a way to isolate all of the files necessary for a specific
executable (in my case pgsql2shp.exe) from the postgresql 8.3 binaries
without using the installer program.
My collegue has already tried the following:
"I did download a copy of the postgresql 8.3 binaries without the installer
program and extracted a copy of psql.exe and put it on the application
server in d:\database_apps, along with a dll file dependency "ssleay32.dll".
I added "d:\database_apps" to the system PATH in hopes that psql.exe could
be invoked at a command prompt without specifying where it was.
Unfortunately this did not work. The executable needs something else that
isn't there, and I am afraid it might be other Windows system 32-bit dlls
that don't exist on a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008."
Thanks,
Stacy
