==Basic Configuration==
Add PostgreSQL to the path if it isn't already:
Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environmental Variables
Add: C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.0\bin
To use PLPerl on windows, you will need to be careful to mix and match the right versions of PostgreSQL and Perl.
Perl version 5.10.1 (a 64bit build is available from [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads ActiveState]) works with PostgreSQL 9.0.1 (64bit build 1500). To see your PostgreSQL version type:
psql -c "select version();" template1
To see your perl version type:
perl -v
With these two versions together you should be able to add plperl to template1 (which all new dbs will inherit) with the command:
createlang plperl template1
There is a [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/reference-client.html list of commands/client applications], with links to documentation, which is useful.
Create a user using pgAdmin or the createuser command:
createuser ed_egan
And then create a database again using pgAdmin or the createdb command:
createdb -O ed_egan DBName
==SQL Commands==
There is a list of [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/sql-commands.html SQL commands] that may help.
