I have tried this a number of times -
psql –U postgres PDW < PDW_June_10.sql. (with and without spaces between U & postgres and/or < and PDW_June)

Sometimes I am asked for a postgres password, once I was asked for the PDW password (this makes sense and which I did enter).

When I entered the password it either said password failed or it simply went back to the root command.

No database information was sent.

pg_hba.conf sets method as md5

I don't know what is meant by your reference to  \1.

Bob

Thanks Adrian but

psql –U postgres -d PDW  -f PDW_June_10.sql

asks - "Password for user postgres:"

When I type the password the cursor doesn't respond and on enter I get
password failed.

A little bit of testing on my part showed that your form of connecting should
work also i.e.psql –U postgres PDW < PDW_June_10.sql.
A couple of questions.
Can you connect to a database using psql and -U postgres?
Does the postgres user have a password?
If you can connect to a database with psql what does \l show? What I am looking
for is whether PDW has its case preserved or not?

How about the pg_hba.conf setting? Is it set to something like md5?
