It looks like the Dave Page installer is the one I need (possibly the only
one there is) for postgreSQL.
This FAQ page makes the install look like a scary undertaking. I dont even
know for sure if I have FAT on my disk drive or NTFS, but I am guessing that
XP has the NTFS.
This FAQ page assures me that I will also install pgAdmin (a graphical
administration and management program) with this download, which is comforting.
One thing I read today impressed me, namely, that MYSQL became widespread,
in part, simply because there were a number of easy window installer packages
available for it. The blog speculated that Postgresql will become even more
popular with this windows installer.
It all makes sense. Also, something about how Postgresql was designed from
the ground up in the proper fashion, whereas mysql got off on the wrong foot,
and then was retrofitted as an afterthought.
