Postgres Plus is not the same as what's on those pages. Postgres Plus is our own distribution, whilst the one on the sub pages is modelled on the Win32 installer and is 'PostgreSQL' branded. > I tend to find this a bit misleading: both the front page and the > linked-to pages give the impression that you are being pointed to > community-supplied binaries. The front page quite clearly states that Postgres Plus is a third party distribution. The 'community' pages contain only 'PostgreSQL' downloads, which come from postgresql.org, EnterpriseDB, Command Prompt, Fink, BSD Ports and a whole host of other third party sites. Each of which is labelled to say who packaged it, and their company where applicable. I'm happy to clarify that wording. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com
