I never converted PT to SQL - How do I go about installing SQL for the first time?

Just finished this:
Postgres Installation Instructions

If you know a lot about postgreSQL or never heard of it or anything in between, could you check out the link and let me know if it is easy to follow?

Thanks,

I just tried - using the step by step by rvg, and got this:



WTF is this, and how do I fix it?

Looks like a PostgreSQL issue with installing on Vista. There are a couple of work arounds

1) Log in as adminstrator and install postgreSQL

or

2) In the Control Panel - User Account management disable User Account Control (UAC)

or

3)
1. Start/All Programs/Accessories
2. Right-click on Command Prompt
3. Select "Run as Administrator"
4. Click OK on the dialog that appears
5. cd \[The directory where you put the install files]
6. Run the installer .msi from the command line.

Let me know what works - I'll need to update the setup guide for Postgres. Apparently version 8.3 of Postgres already has a fix for this.

2- I dont see " disable User Account Control (UAC)" when i got to - Control Panel&gt; User Accounts

3 - When I click Run as I get this, and pick Admin at the bottom:


I leave the password blank and then get this:

Ok, how about this:

To start the Secondary Logon service

1. Open Services from Control Panel - Administrative Tools

2. In the Name column, click Secondary Logon.

3. On the Action menu, click Start.

If the Secondary Logon service is not there then did you happen to install XP Lite or run some other program that trims down on what is running within Windows?

Thanks,

FWIW;

Although the postgres install was manual for your program, it's not like Pokertracker's was all that easy either..you had to have some idea of what to do before you could get it to work so the same could be expected for your program.

ETA on release candidate? I want to give you some feedback but my girl gets off work in like 3 hrs so I am trying to test it soon.

This is getting ridiculous. I think I know why I never installed SQL for PT now.

[rvg72]

I think that for most people getting PostgreSQL installed will be pretty easy and for everyone else we'll just have to work through it and when we get it working I'll update the PostgreSQL install page. I did look into some embedded, zero install database options but none compared to PostgreSQL in terms of power.

Release candidate for private beta testers is about 30 minutes away [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
