There seems to be a new kid on the block: EnterpriseDB, see also this post.

Thank you for your info on PostgreSQL for windows. Now it seems to me that the much larger user base of MySQL is the only (big) advantage left to opt for MySQL.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for posting the Presentation notes. Very interesting. I really liked the comparisons of the java based RDBMS. Wish you could have spent a little bit more time dicussing the administrative tools, if any, and the features of the Cloudscape–>Apache Derby database.

Also, just for your information, there is active work on a Native version of PostgreSQL on windows. Version 8.0 beta is available. Not recommended for production use of course, but from what I’ve read it’s definitely installable and usable. Comes as a native windows installer, too.

It’s not completely perfect, but getting better all the time. Make sure you shut down your virus software before installing. apparently there are some issues with completing the process when the virus checker is on…

YMMV.
