PostgreSQL for Windows Installation Procedure

Postgresql is a free database management system which can be downloaded by Windows users here: http://www.postgresql.org/download/windows

The following are snapshots during my installation:









At this point Postgresql is installed, however, there are a set of tools which are of interest. Thus, i kept the check box ticked before hitting Finish button.

I chose to install MySQL Migration Wizard, Tuning Wizard for PostgreSQL, and phpPgAdmin.






As a means to monitor usage of the product, the creators are requiring each user to register before the tools can be download, installed and enjoyed.



After providing your information, a confirmation email is sent. Registration is complete when the confirmation URL is visited.



To commence download of the tools, the registered email address and password are being asked.












Finally, were down to the last screen. Hit Finish button to terminate the PostgreSQL installation process.
