PostgreSQL version: 8.2
Operating system: Windows XP
Description: psql to 'postgres' shortcut
Details:
The shortcut to run psql.exe added to the menus is a great think to do, but
when the program stops the window closes with no pause or time delay.
This is a serious issue if the login fails. Sometimes I forget to start the
server, but I do not know that because I cannot read text in ~0.02 seconds.
BTW, I bet some of your other .bat files have the same issue.
Please run it by doing 1 or other:
1. Putting a "pause" at the end of the batch file.
2. cmd.exe /K "<command line>"
(just note the "" for default user name will make this fail. Sorry I do
not know how to fix that unless username has no bad-for-cmd characters in
it, then quotes are not needed)
