[Mapserver-users] Supported PostgreSQL Platforms and Versions???

I've used the peerdirect (aka multera) windows build and it works fine with
Mapserver.
Search the postgis message archives for where you can download the files.
There were two beta versions, the first was major slow for inserts (i.e.
shp2pgsql) but the second was improved in this area.  No source code was
released as far as I know.

At least one of those was tested with PostGIS when it was in beta. For
the life of me though, I cannot remember which one... the peerdirect
one, I think.

Apparently it worked just fine, though we were not the ones doing the
testing.  7.4 windows version should work fine with postgis too, when
it arrives.
