[postgis-users] no .bat in windows zip installers

[Paragon Corporation]

Remi,
New workflow would be:
 
1) Copy the contents of the zip file to your PostgreSQL install -- the
folders are laid out the same as standard PostgreSQL EDB so should just be
copy over and overwrite if file is present.
2) Then use pgAdmin or psql to create a new database
3) Then use pgAdmin or psql to do (you can also use the Extension gui part
in pgAdmin which shows all the extensions available that you can pick)
 
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
CREATE EXTENSION pgrouting;
CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer;
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;
 
(Create extension options packaged with windows are described at bottom of
this page on right)
http://postgis.net/windows_downloads
 
Note: 2.2 development versions also include postgis_sfcgal extension.
 
etc.
 
in this new database.
 
I thought I had removed the batch scripts from the zip packages, but I guess
I only did it for the bundle one which I upload to osgeo and use to build
the exes and the 2.2 binaries.
 
The regular ones on winnie -- have the readme and the (2.1s have batch
scripts though I stopped including batch script for 2.2).  Anyway I'll make
sure ot include the readme in the next bundle zip.  I still need to finish
off making the 2.1.4s but was going to wait till 9.4 comes out to finish the
rest.
 
and thanks for pointing out the confusion.  It's easy to forget that things
are unclear users when you have the steps memorized.
 
 
Thanks,
Regina

Hello Regina,

thanks for the answer.


I'm not a big fan of bat files,
but I do have to use the zip version and not the .exe.

So maybe a small update of the README.txt to indicate
how to get postgis working without the bat files.


What we did is get the .bat from 2.1.1 and past it in the 2.1.2, then run
it.

Then we could use the CREATE EXTENSION on a fresh database.


What would be the new workflow?


Cheers,
Rémi

Remi,
That was intentional.  The main reason is that with windows systems being
security paranoid, the copy would often fail and it would be hard to see
looking at a batch script console.
 
Also now that we have CREATE EXTENSION it was no longer an issue trying to
find the scripts to run, which was the main reason for the batch script.
 
Did you find it useful?  If so I can put them back.
 
Thanks,
Regina

Hey everybody.

The 2 bat files
makepostgisdb_using_extensions.bat

and
makepostgisdb.bat


seems to have vanished from the zip release file for version newer than
2.1.1 (postgis-bundle-pg93x64-2.1.1)


I'm I missing something?

thanks,

cheers,

Rémi-C
