Cygwin is a POSIX emulation layer which works perfectly. The only concern
Quite a bold claim to say it works perfectly. I agree its pretty stable as I have had few problems with cygwin...
Anyway, Cygwin + PostgreSQL still remains faster than any open-source
databases available under Windows.
Another interesting claim - speed of databases is such a subjective issue. Interestingly this article compared a bunch of databases on a Windows platform, but clearly no-one told the reviewers about PostgreSQL on Windows as another alternative.
