Michael,
Thanks. Just to follow-up, are there sources to build just a client
installation? It looks to me like not. I don't have a problem
building a server on each workstation that will be accessing postgres,
but if there is a way to keep things cleaner and install only the
client (or client libraries), that would be great.
Thanks again,
Sean
