Is it possible to connect to PostgreSQL database using Ruby under
Windows XP. I need to do simple client for person who can use only
Windows and I consider many solutions (JDBC, Ruby, ODBC in Access and so
on).

Yes, you can download a postgres driver for Ruby from
raa.ruby-lang.org. Then you can use the DBI (database-independent)
module (also from RAA) to do nice high-level database programming. Or
you can use the driver directly if you wish.
I don’t see how Windows comes into the picture, but I could be wrong.

I’v solved my problem by using dbi:ODBC. Ruby is the best :^)

If he means connecting to a database running Postgres from within windows
, he’ll need cygwin installed to provide a means to run it.

So I’d like to know how to compile ruby-postgres under Windows using
Cygwin. Has anyone done it befeore? I’ve installed Ruby, Cygwin and I’ve
downloaded ruby-postgres.tar.gz I don’t know how to compile it under
Windows 
Is it possible to connect from Windows to PostgreSQL (working on linux)
without usign DBI?

No, but theoretically you could use a cross-compiler under Linux to do it,
OR, perhaps easier using a native windows compiler (borland?) to do it –
unfortunately I only run Linux…

I assume cygwin ships with GCC (or a variant thereof).

Use, of course it is.
