When I type 'psql' in the cmd window, it brings up a screen that closes too fast to read.  What can I do to fix this?

Which version of windows, which version of postgres?

Do your path set to look in the ‘bin’ folder?

 

Try opening the command window and then change the directory to the Postgres bin folder –

 

Cd “c:\program files\postgresql\8.0\bin”

 

Then type in ‘psql –d DBNAME –U postgres’

 

This is assuming you are running Windows 2000/xp pro with version 8.0 and the default install.

 

HTH,
