Re: create batch script to import into postgres tables

[Pepe TD Vo <pepevo@xxxxxxxxx>]

thank you,   I tried that too, remove the quote around the echo and it prompt for password, as I mentioned no matter I put -P mypassword no matter what I spell out password=mypassword still argument error

>>echo select count(*) from tableA; | "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql" -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432  

>> echo select count(*) from tableA; | "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql" -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432 password=mypassword

all usernames are same password.

thank you so much for all input.

v/r,

No one in this world is pure and perfect.  If you avoid people for their mistakes you will be alone. So judge less, love, and forgive more.

To call him a dog hardly seems to do him justice though in as much as he had four legs, a tail, and barked, I admit he was, to all outward appearances. But to those who knew him well, he was a perfect gentleman (Hermione Gingold)

or, store your query into a text file and use 

psql -f query.sql

thank you for the link.  I did try it and it's still error

This is getting old. The error is?

I can run 'psql -u postgres -d PSCIDR -p 5432' (on Linux server, still learning how to run it from psql shell in Window) fine from psql prompt.  Just still wonder how to connect directly to the instance PSCIDR from scripting in both aws and linux.  Otherwise manually run using pgAdmin.
