>Hi,
> I'm not sure anyone cares (or everyone already knows) but Postgres is now available on the windows platform running as a service. It's still free from the good people "PeerDirect". Check out the details from
http://techdocs.postgresql.org. For those that don't know Postgres is a full featured database engine that is very close to Oracle. I have been using it on Linux computers only (which works perfectly) but I now have a windows version.

Interesting. I thought a Windows version already existed, but it seems I was wrong.
I am interested in learning C/S, and a freeware like this can help. Can you give me brief instructions to get started - do I have to install it and create ODBC connections, or what?
Or might it be simpler to get started with some other database server?
