I'm currently doing development on my home machine. Eventually we'll have Postgresql on a Windows server, but we want to try out and test code on a local machine before going live. I've found some tutorials about using Postgresql in the Cygwin emulation, but we want to run Postgresql natively. I need to use some of the forms and reporting functions in the EMS PostgreSQL manager. Can anyone point me to some tutorials or documentation that can help me figure out how to set up and use Postgresql on a local, stand alone, Windows XP machine? Thanks in Advance, Adam
