As of Windows 10 version 1803, Unix-domain sockets are supported on Windows. But it's not automatically detected by configure because it looks for struct sockaddr_un and Windows doesn't define that. So we just make our own definition on Windows and override the configure result. Set DEFAULT_PGSOCKET_DIR to empty on Windows so by default no Unix-domain socket is used, because there is no good standard location. In pg_upgrade, we have to do some extra tweaking to preserve the existing behavior of not using Unix-domain sockets on Windows. Adding support would be desirable, but it needs further work, in particular a way to select whether to use Unix-domain sockets from the command-line or with a run-time test. The pg_upgrade test script needs a fix. The previous code passed "localhost" to postgres -k, which only happened to work because Windows used to ignore the -k argument value altogether. We instead need to pass an empty string to get the desired effect. The test suites will continue to not use Unix-domain sockets on Windows. This requires a small tweak in pg_regress.c. The TAP tests don't need to be changed because they decide by the operating system rather than HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
