Thread: \i running on windows
Hi all, I'd like to use for the first time postgres on windows, used the installer no problem (good stuff) i saw pgadmin (good gui) but when trying to use the \i I can't figure a way to find my script to be imported... What is the correct PATH to be used ? Where should I put my files in order to Postgres top find them ? It 's very annoying... I tried several notations (windows or Unix ones), I tried absolute & relative paths ? I set up some env vars (PG_HOME & PG_DATA) soi I tried to put scripts on the PG_HOME directory but it doesn't work.. Any idea ? Cheers jerome
Where are you trying to run your scripts, in PgAdmin, or from the psql
client? In psql you should specify the full path to your script, ie. \i
C:\The folder\the script.sql
In PgAdmin, the easiest way is to start a new query, then copy and paste
your script in (or there may be an "open script" option to read it from
file) - I haven't used PgAdmin, I use SQL Manager's PostgreSQL Manager Lite
- it's much more intuitive.

Have you tried running your script in PgAdmin (or similar GUI)? e.g. copy and paste your script into a new query? jerome wrote: > Andy Shellam a écrit : > > >> Where are you trying to run your scripts, in PgAdmin, or from the psql >> client?

Hi Jerome Change the Windows-backslashes into *normal* slashes like: test=# \i c:/Apache/htdocs/projekte/ulm_lokal/pg_dump.sql regards Conni
