If only there were a way to run performant Postgres on Windows. Maybe it's time learn Hyper-V so I can run it in a Linux VM.

- jrapdx3 12y agoThat's close to what I'm doing, except running FreeBSD 10.1 in Hyper-V. It's actually pretty easy to set up since FBSD 10.1 is available for download as a VHD. Just need to specify the VHD image file as the disk to attach when creating a new HV VM. It's somewhat more fun/challenging to configure network access for the VM. Once that's done it's very handy for developing web servers/apps. With the web server running in the VM, the client/browser on the host points to the VM just like any remote site. PostgreSQL in the VM performs quite well. IMO this kind of development is much more satisfactory in a unix environment than under Windows and Hyper-V provides a convenient way to get there.
