I installed the win32 binary of PostgreSQL 8.4 in C:/PostgreSQL. Launching mintty in cygwin and calling psql, the only thing that seems to work is the psql --help call. $/cygdrive/c/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/psql -d mf -U sivaram simply waits till I hit Ctrl-C. Is it possible at all to use the win32 databases from shell scripts written in cygwin bash? My overall objective is to read and write to tables in PostgreSQL from bash scripts. Can anyone help, please? sivaram -- -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
