If he means connecting to a database running Postgres from within windows
<shudder>, he'll need cygwin installed to provide a means to run it.

So I''d like to know how to compile ruby-postgres under Windows using
Cygwin. Has anyone done it befeore? I''ve installed Ruby, Cygwin and I''ve
downloaded ruby-postgres.tar.gz I don''t know how to compile it under
Windows :-)
Is it possible to connect from Windows to PostgreSQL (working on linux)
without usign DBI?
