I am using psql to run this sql file(https://github.com/Arelle/Arelle/blob/master/arelle/plugin/xbrlDB/sql/public/xbrlPublicPostgresDB.ddl)
here is my command:
/usr/bin/psql postgresql://db_user:dbpassword@localhost:5432/my_db -f /tmp/xbrlPublicPostgresDB.ddl

I do not know why it show me the : , which is asking me to input something.

Can someone help me?

If you can manually execute incremental portions of the file until the final statement introduces the problem I'll be happy to try and explain what may be wrong with that statement or portion of the file.

Removing stuff instead of just commenting it out is recommended.
