Is it at all possible to get pgsql installed on a system without access 
to a shell?  A friend is wanting me to install a particular bulletin 
board system on her website; however, her hosting plan only provides the 
MySQL database - the bulletin board requires pgsql.  And her hosting 
plan has no ssh access.

So, is it possible to install the database with only ftp access to the 
account?
