Now the problem is Postgres does not provide libraries for 64-bit Windows! Obviously, the Qt Postgres plugin won't c...
Taking advice from this post, I purchased a copy of 'The C Programming Language' and am happily reading my way through. However, all the stuff I've written in the past has been interpreted, and I have no idea where to look for a good C compiler or an IDE (is there even one?). Google searches throw up a lot of results for C++ compilers, w...

The distinctions among Windows user permissions and any set of SQL Server GRANTs seem like unrelated concepts. As often as not, it seems to actually be implemented with pseudo-logins for database roles; but that doesn't map usefully back to Windows permissions. Assuming single-login identity verification, why not just go with the simples...

When I call CreateProcess in Windows, the new process doesn't seem to inherit the console of the calling process. I made a test program that runs "ruby xtest", xtest being a script that writes "hello" to standard output. I ran this test program from Emacs, and get no output. I also tried the following code calling GetStdHandle, but ag...
