Rats. I'm currently doing a feasibility study of using PostgreSQL and need to have some conclusions by the end of the month. I hate having to build projects from source as it always seems to be 10 times more effort than I expect. I'm wondering if it would be less effort to take one of the existing Windows binaries, and just install that version of PostgreSQL and friends :-) If someone else is having trouble building binaries, I'm probably going to have the same trouble. > >> Is there a difference between using 32-bit and 64-bit PostgreSQL.
