Hello I am running cygwin and Windows XP and get the following error.
$ /usr/bin/psql -x -E -l
********* QUERY **********
SELECT d.datname as "Name",
u.usename as "Owner",
pg_catalog.pg_encoding_to_char(d.encoding) as "Encoding"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_database d
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_user u ON d.datdba = u.usesysid
ORDER BY 1;
**************************
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "("
$ /usr/bin/psql -V
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.4.1
contains support for command-line editing
$ initdb -V
initdb (PostgreSQL) 7.4.1
I can get into psql but any command such as \dt etc also results in parse error.
Any help would be appreciated,
Rgds,
Mary.
