windows docs?

[Bender, Cheryl]

When starting the Windows psql client I get a warning that the "console
codepage (437) differs from the windows codepage (1252)" and to see
installation on Windows for details. I am having trouble finding this
documentation. I've also been looking for the "Windows FAQ" which was
mentioned in a post. Can anyone point me to documentation that
addresses this issue as well as other window's issues?

Thanks much

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/Windows is a good starter for current
win32 information. The windows faq
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN) also has some info,
though it might be a little outdated. (updates welcome). Also, if your
running on cygwin you might want to post to pgsql-cygwin mailing list. HTH.

Might want to rename that one to FAQ_Cygwin or something? ;-) AFAIK, it
has nothing about the native port.

There is an installer-centric faq at
http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/FAQ_windows.html. It also has
a number of non-installer-specific questinos. I beleive it was Daves
intention to get this one on the main site eventually. If not, perhaps
selected questions should be moved in..

I'm thinking rename the current faq to faq_win32_cygwin and
then create a new
faq faq_win32_native based the pginstaller one. Does anyone
feel they ought
to be combined?

No, absolutely not - that'll just create further confusion.

I guess another alternative is jut remove
faq_mswin from the main sources and then leave it up to
cygwin/native projects to maintain thier own faqs, with
perhaps a single question in the main postgresql pointing to
both of the other faqs... anyone have a preference?

The problem with our new FAQ is that much of it is installer specific,
so including it in the main distro which doesn't include the installer
code just seems wrong somehow. Perhaps the existing faq should have a
note in bold at the top directing ppl to the installer FAQ if that's
what they really want, and leave the rest of the doc for Cygwin/Mingw
specific issues.
