The switch you are looking for is '-d'. Use like such:
C:\financial-planner\pgsql\bin\psql.exe -d mydatabase
(With appropriate user and commands, of course.)
I'd move the create table statements to a seperate file, and make another
call from the batch file.
(Otherwise, in this context I believe schema == database, so if you
appended the database name to table names in the SQL creates like this
'mydatabase.mytable' that should work as well.)
