Hello,

i have installed postgres 8.0 beta3 as a program on my pc on windows xp.
I have read on the installation note file that postgres server will not
run with administrative permissions. I have read on your forum that this
happened because i have installed the beta version: is it true that this
happen only with the beta version?

Don't you think that is evil run a service like a database with administrator
permissions ? I think this will remain true also in the final release.

When will you plan to release the production version?

When is ready, fortunatelly postgresql is not a "time to market" slave.

It is written by the core developers that "running postgres with admin
privileges" will never be possible. (at least with the official
sources)

It has been discussed in detail; with pro and cons and it was a very
informed decission.

You can read it wihtin the PSQL-Hackers list.
