Cannot run psql under Cygwin
When I try to run psql (eg. psql -U myusername -d mydb) from Cygwin, it freezes. When I run it from the DOS console, it works fine. Here are the versions on my system: Windows XP Pro 2002, Service Pack 3 Cygwin: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 W-QUE-A103212 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin PostgreSQL: 8.4.4 No version of PostgreSQL was installed under Cygwin.

In that case, you need to run Cygwin's bash from a console (i.e. use 'cygwin.bat' as provided by 'setup.exe') and run 'psql' from there.

Re: Cannot run psql under Cygwin
Okay, many thanks Larry. I forgot to mention I was using the MinTTY console. It works when I use the regular Cygwin console.

Re: Cannot run psql under Cygwin
This is running in a mintty console on a fairly recent (updated four days ago) Cygwin load and the standard Windows PostgreSQL server: shol...@lifeboy ~/Projects/PytDj/Pyteach/templates/training $ psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U django PyTeach Password for user django: Welcome to psql 8.2.11 (server 8.3.5), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit WARNING: You are connected to a server with major version 8.3, but your psql client is major version 8.2.
