If "psql -f kk.psql" does, it works enough. ./kk.psql would not notmally work on windows. It's been 12 years since I worked on it, but IIRC although windows ( the OS ) recognized / as a path separator CMD did not, so even if you set psql as a handler for .psql files it would not work ( and, IIRC again, the customary way to exec that kind of files would be 'kk', i.e. 'jj' not '.\jj.md' for a CMD file as windows used to consider the CWD of the current drive before the PATH ). And if you are using windows in POSIX mode with a bash shell it would probably work. Note the OP was not asking for a windows+unix shell script, but for a psql + unix shell. Francisco Olarte.
