Userful Linux tools for windows

ssh & scp for Windows

PuTTY, (and its file transfer utility, pscp), are excellent Windows ssh/scp implementations, and are a piece of cake to get up and running. These programs are not zipped and do not require any installation.

Downloads:
putty: putty.exe
pscp: pscp.exe

nmap for Windows

Nmap ("Network Mapper") is a free and open source utility for network exploration or security auditing. Many systems and network administrators also find it useful for tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, but works fine against single hosts. Nmap runs on all major computer operating systems, and official binary packages are avalable for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.

nmap 5.51 self-installer: nmap-5.51-setup.exe
nmap 5.51 command-line: nmap-5.51-win32.zip

How to set Postgresql money type to use 3 decimal places in Windows

LINUX
=====
Under Linux, type command in postgres database:

set lc_monetary to 'ar_BH.utf8';

ar_BH represents Arabic (Bahrain) locale, the above command change the locale monetary setting on-the-fly in postgresql database, the let do a test:

select 34.888::text::money;

You will get 34.888 with 3 decimal places money type. Tested in Postgresql 8.4.6.

WINDOWS
=======
However the above set command will get an error message under Windows.

FATAL: invalid value for parameter “lc_monetary”

You will need to:

set lc_monetary to "Arabic, Bahrain";

This will set the lc_monetary to arabic locale but only display 2 decimal places by default, it seems everything right of the comma is ignored.

To workaround this, use an '_' in plase of ', ' like:

set lc_monetary to "Arabic_Bahrain";

Tested with Windows XP + PostgreSQL 9.0.3(this solution should work for PostgreSQL 8.3 or later version too)

Thanks Jasen who get this resolved, more information please see his post @ postgresql forum:
