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.

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 ?
