Notes:

{geomCol} - geom column to select from or geometry returning call such as ST_GeomFromText('POINT(' || lon || ' ' || lat || ')' ,4326)

{properties} - a comma separated list of columns to select from; can be aliased

{table} - a table to select from

{where} - a where clause if needed

fire up psql with proper credentials and execute

 \i [path-to-the-db-dump.sql]

Get the latest pgsql from here and if you need postgis from here.

Unpack the pgsql zip to a desired destination.

Create a directory for the db files.

Navigate to the bin folder of pgsql and run the following command: 

initdb -U postgres -E UTF-8 -A md5 -D <path to data directory> -W

When prompted, provide the master pass. Your console should look like this:

Now it's time to adjust the db cfg. You may find it in the db files folder, it is called "postgresql.conf". Make sure you adjust the port the db listens on and also that it is available for localhost:

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Connection Settings -

listen_addresses = 'localhost'		# what IP address(es) to listen on;
					# comma-separated list of addresses;
					# defaults to 'localhost'; use '*' for all
					# (change requires restart)
#port = 5432				# (change requires restart)

By default pgsql listens on 5432. If you already have another pgsql live or need to change it for whatever reason, simply adjust the port value.

Once this is ready, it's time to create a service for our db (you may need to run the console as an admin though):

pg_ctl register -N ServiceName -U postgres -P <password> -D <path to data directory> -w

The console should look like this:

And the service should be visible in the service manager:

If you wish to rename the service then simply delete it and register again:

sc delete ServiceName

The final step is to adjust the service properties, such as a user that runs the service (by default it runs as NetworkService) or the startup mode:

Now, if you also need postgis, simply use the exe installer and you're good to go.

Scenario:

• windows server x64
• manifold 8.x x64
• pgsql 9.x x64
