I just installed Postgresql for windows. There is an elephant headed icon, which seems to be the way to get to the command line prompt. I have a textbook which assumes that you can communicate with postgres through command line, and run scripts. When I click the icon, it asks for password, and then does nothing but disappear. IF there is no command line available with the windows install, then, is there a 3rd party product? Thanks ________________________________ Have a burning question? Go to Yahoo!
