Hi list:
  Recently I installed postgresql 8.0, marvellous; and
I've been studying the tutorial. I got stuck in
chapter 2 "The SQL languaje". There, it says that in
order to read sql commands stored in a file you can
type:
  mydb=> \i basics.sql

So I create a file named CreateTable_weather.sql but
it didn't work, shows a message:
"CreateTable_weather.sql:No such file or directory". I change the working directory and put there the sql
archive but neither worked.

This works fine with 7.4.2 under Linux:

   weaver% cat >tmp.sql
   select count(*) from addressbook;
   weaver% psql
   Welcome to psql 7.4.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

   Type:  \copyright for distribution terms
          \h for help with SQL commands
          \? for help on internal slash commands
          \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
          \q to quit

   swampler=# \i tmp.sql
    count
   -------
      148
   (1 row)

   swampler=# \q

Have you tried a simple test (like the above)?  I haven't upgraded to
8.0 yet because of some dependencies I have with patches on JDBC in
7.4.2, but I wouldn't have expected this to break...
