You must save the file somewhere the "postgres" user as write access. Either create a folder and give "full control" to the user "postgres", or write the export within the existing postgresql data directory. COMMAND: \copy (select * from employee) to 'C:/emp.csv' ERROR: syntax error at or near "\" LINE 1: \copy (select * from employee) to 'C:/emp.csv' You are not using psql. "\copy" is a psql command.
