I think I could create a list and pass that into a loop so only
the command has to be modified, but again, how do we do that on Windows?
Can we create a shell function in Windows and pass the file name as an
argument?
I don't know, but I assume that somewhere in the known universe there is
a way on Windows to say, here is a list of files, copy them to that
host.
The issue isn't whether or not there is a way known somewhere in the
universe to do something, it's whether or not it's reasonable to assume
that such a thing is likely to be available. In general we have tried
not to assume very much at all about what's available on Windows - not
much beyond the simple cmd.exe shell.
On Windows I typically use scp to copy things around between machines,
but I'd be very wary of creating a Postgres utility that expects it to
be present.
