RE: postgresql on win2000 - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

    It seems that the backend is working.
    (FYI: cygwin uses INET sockets anyway, but remeber on Unix/Linux/BSD
to use postmaster -i & to enable TCP/IP connections).
    1) I've never used ipgsql so can not really help. (Have you tried
pgadmin?). It could be that you have to edit the pg_hba.conf file in your
data directory. Also if its connecting via ODBC you'll need to make sure
thats set up (see http://odbc.postgresql.org ).
    2) That looks fine to me (IIRC first number is the OID of the
inserted row, second number is the number of rows inserted).
    3) I'm guessing there is still a missing path, or a missing program.
There should be a program called less.exe in /bin that should have been
installed in the cygwin setup. If this is missing rerun setup and include
it. If it is there then that probably means that your path isn't pointing
towarsds it. psql just uses less to display result sets and it won't stop
the backend functioning.
