Hi. I have downloaded PostgreSQL from the site *www.postgresql.org/download/windows . I am using Windows XP SP2. PostgreSQL is an open source RBMS. But I could not any site where the source code is given as a zipped file or something like that. Please tell me, how can I get the Source code of PostgreSQL and how to compile it?

To compile it, you need MinGW32. Google for it.

But how to download the source code? Please send me a link from where I can download the source code.

Please Relpy.

*wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/source/v8.3.5/postgresql-8.3.5.tar.bz2

it's a tar.bz2...in win32 you have to unzip it twice (unless you're using something like 7zip) because win32's built-in zip is brain-dead.
