Please correct me where I am going wrong. FYI, I am running under the administrator accounts of both Windows Login and PostgreSQL.
Two things,
1. you need to have a proper permissions where the .csv file creating.
2. In windows you need to use as below
postgres=#\copy (select * from employee) to 'C:\\emp.sql'
