Hannu Krosing asked: > Does anyone know how MySQL and interbase/firebird do it ? > From the MySQL web site for version 4.0: "The Windows binaries use the Cygwin library. Source code for the version of Cygwin we have used is available on this page." I think this offers a very big opportunity to differentiate. If we had project support it would make PostgreSQL a more natural choice for Windows developers. Even in a shop that uses Unix servers with Windows front-ends, having a database server that runs on your own machine makes it much easier to debug, write code on airplanes, etc. - Curtis
