I never said it wasn't a good DB. I just said it wasn't MySQL whichI had 
up and running for several years and was used to using

I got it installed and running. Thanks

I have been using XAMPP for years. unfortunately for this class the professor I have likes PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. So now I need to install PostgreSQL on my PC (XP) and my laptop (Vista) for the class. unfortunately I have never been good at installing servers and DB (thus why I have XAMPP). I was hoping someone can guide me through installing it and getting it working with the XAMPP setup

>> PostgreSQL version Downloaded:8.3.4
