I'm preparing a winGRASS self installer package, but I'm not sure about what
files include in the package from PostgreSQL and SQLite install;
Since now I included only libpq.dll (for PostgreSQL) and libsqlite3-0.dll
(for SQLite); unfortunately I'm not able to use database instructions in
GRASS, so I cannot know if some files are required or not! While SQLite is a
very light utility (for all files), PostgreSQL requires lot of space (quite
30 MB!!!) for a complete inclusion in a GRASS self contained package.
For SQLite, I would recommend also packaging the sqlite.exe executable.
This will allow users to also create and manipulate SQLite databases
and tables directly, if need be.
Full server support for Postgres would probably take a lot of space, so
you only need to package the DLLs for client acces and let people worry
about setting up a server themselves if they need it.
I think that libpq.dll should be enough for that purpose:

Thanks a million to go this way…
Many Windows people around here in Asia will be really happy to “just click” to install wingrass. It will make the trainings easier for all especially to tell them to give it away to friends…
Windows people get really bugged by this “new” GIS software that does so much for free. i.e. “how come we did not know about it before?”

you’re welcome. Release is very, very close!
