Re: create batch script to import into postgres tables - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Remove the quotes around echo

echo select count(*) from web_20200619; | "C:\Program Files\postgresql\11\bin\psql" -d *** -h *** -U ***

or, store your query into a text file and use 

psql -f query.sql

thank you for the link.  I did try it and it's still error

echo 'SELECT count(*) FROM tableA;' |

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432

This is getting old. The error is?

I can run 'psql -u postgres -d PSCIDR -p 5432' (on Linux server, still learning how to run it from psql shell in Window) fine from psql prompt.  Just still wonder how to connect directly to the instance PSCIDR from scripting in both aws and linux.  Otherwise manually run using pgAdmin.

v/r,
