I keep a close watch on pgAdmin development. If you experience any issues with pgAdmin function or installation, either file a ticket in this repo or email me at practicalsqlbook@gmail.com for assistance.
- Windows 11: Installation of PostgreSQL, as described beginning on page 4 of Chapter 1, is the same under Windows 11 as under Windows 10. However, Windows 11 has a different-style Start Menu. As a result, after installation, you will find the PostgreSQL and PostGIS folders under Start Menu > All Apps.
- Stack Builder: Downloading the installer for PostGIS may take a few minutes. During this time, it may seem the program is stuck, but it's not. Patience is key, I remind myself.
- PostGIS installer updates: The PostGIS installer for Windows now asks you to check off which components to install rather than providing individual Yes/No prompts. You can select all components including Create Spatial Database. (Applies to printings one through three of the book.)
- Python Support via Language Pack: The EDB installer for Windows no longer includes the Language Pack. See this issue for details on how to configure Python support.
