Hmm, does the Windows port have readline support, and if so does adding the "-n" switch to the psql invocation fix the problem? Or you could try feeding the script with -f switch or \i rather than "psql <script". Readline adds a fair amount of overhead, which is completely invisible at human typing speeds but can be annoying when reading scripts. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
