Not redundent.  Unless something has changed, psql's default connection
method is via unix socket 5432 and this socket does not exist on
windows. The -h is required to have psql connect to the network socket
which is available on windows.


Oh? Well, on my XP laptop, the following -

   psql -U postgres

- connects without problems to the postgres database. Of course, there 
*is* the following line in pg_hba.conf -


  hostall all127.0.0.1/32  md5

- which was there from installation time.

Yes, on platforms that don't support Unix sockets (such as Win32), it will
default to localhost.

Yes, it's set by the win32 installer by default.

Cool.  I'll have to check the pg_hba.conf on my windows system and see
what it has in it.  My windows box is running either 8.0.x or 8.1.x.
Has this setting always been this way for the windows installer?

As far as I can remember, it has - and I think it's been that way for 
source-code installations too, in recent versions at least, though I'm 
open to correction on this.

you'll also probably have to add the parameter -h 127.0.0.1

Yes, that's it - run it at the command prompt.

Run the command anywhere you want.  Just make sure the bit after -f 
points to the proper location of the .psql file.


Also, be sure you have created your own database before running that 
command.  Information on creating databases may be found in the 
PostgreSQL documentation.
