Services on Windows Servers
PCC offers a convenient way to work with PSQL servers on Windows machines without having to use the Windows Services control panel. You can start, stop, and set the startup policy from within PCC.
You must stop the relational and transactional services to completely stop PSQL. Stopping just one of the services does not stop the database engine completely.
This section applies only to Windows platforms, not to Linux.
*Note: PSQL products other than the database engine also run as services. The services of these other products can have a dependency on the database engine services. See Services Dependencies for further information.
