I use 8.3.18.

That is 16 years old.

It maybe won't work with PGDBE/ISAM emulation.

Yes it works, I use it with PGDBE/ISAM emulation and its works fine. You obviously didn't try and don't know.
This version is distributed with old versions of XPP 2.0, and it works with PGDBE on Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10.

hi

Last one is release 10.

It will work with SqlExpress without problem , just make sure machine is on UPS so no power loss happens (data corruption).

And under no circumstances you should expose such machine on public IP address as it will be easy prey to malicious people.

Last one is 16, not 10.

SQLexpress even works with older versions. SQLexpress doesn't talk to the server directly. It uses ODBC.

You obviously didn't try and don't know.

No, I did not know. Besides, it's not a relevant information for me, since we wouldn't recommend our customers to install 16 years old software on their systems.

I wonder if it works with current versions of Xbase++. No, I'm not interested; I just wonder.

I wonder if it works with current versions of Xbase++. No, I'm not interested; I just wonder.

Believe or not, It works with Xbase++ build 2158. Also, Alaska documentation says this: "The PostgreSQL Database Engine supports all PostgreSQL servers, starting with Version 8.2 or higher". And again, you didn't try and didn't know, but you have to make some useless comment.

The request of this topic is "Which version of PostgreSql works on windows 7". Windows 7 is age 2009, and PostgreSql 8.3, what I replied, is age 2008. So, my replay is quite appropriate to the request. You should read the topic request more carefully. You may recommend a client what you wont, but I wonder if PostgreSql 16 works on Windows 7? And starting from Version 11, it supports only 64-bit Windows systems.

Joe said "Thanks" to Tom. I wonder what he thanked him for, when Tom didn't give him any help regarding his request? It is only me who gave him the right help which is sure, but there is no thanks to me. This shows his ingratitude. Maybe its a problem for him that I could possibly know something that Tom don't know?

Hi Tom,

Does it matter ?

Using SQLExpress and ADS, I discovered my application in SQLExpress out perform ADSDBE and I have code reduction of about 30%.
Boriz in his documentation of SQLExpress stated that ODBC if FAST and I said how can because I had read a lot of comments where people said ODBC performs poorly and that made me not to embrace SQL even after I bought QSLExpress for over 5 years. But now I know better.

Hi, Joe.

Does it matter ?

Not if there's an ODBC driver that is able to talk to PG 8. And there should be one for/on Windows 7 systems.

Besides, PostGreSQL server 10 runs on Windows 7 systems. It's the oldest still supported version. Look here:
