I wish to opt for PostgreSQL. My all programmes are in Dos/Windows environment. On preliminary reading, I understand that PostgreSQL works best on Linux/ Unix OS. I have Ubuntu as 2nd OS on my laptop, along with Vista. Kindly guide me on this point.

IMHO PostgreSQL data installed in Vista can not be accessed from Ubuntu and vice versa.

where did you got this from ? This is totaly nonsense. The only link among a program and the DBMS is a tcp/ip port.
This is like saying you can´t retrieve a web page hosted in a linux server from a windows machine !!!!

Sorry apais.
I have Ubuntu as 2nd OS on my laptop, along with Vista.
I had omitted to say, if both the operating systems are installed in the same computer.

Otherwise, I too know that, a DBMS installed in a different OS can be accessed from a different operating system.

Again, IMHO, PostgreSQL data installed in Vista can not be accessed from Ubuntu and vice versa if they are installed in the same computer.

Am I with sense at least now? :?:

But...

I have installed a Postgresql server in a virtual machine running on my windows notebook.
I use my xbase++ program accesing the postgresql linux database in the same machine without problems.

This is clever!

Every rule has its own exceptions. Every exception has its own rules!
