Hi guys,
I'd like to inform you about the issue of using psql in a dos batch file
on windows vista.
On linux all is very simple, you can easily write in your script
psql -d mydb -U myuser -f myqry.sql < passw.txt
On windows however, psql does not seem to work like this, nor does
type passwd.txt | psql -d mydb -U myuser -f myqry.sql
work
So I tried using
psql -d mydb -U myuser -f myqry.sql -u PGPASSWORD=xxxxxx
But this does not work either, so I turned to the pgpass.conf file and
it seemed like that didn't work either because I wrote
127.0.0.1:5432:mydb:myuser:xxxxxx
so I experimented and the hostname command in my dosbox gave me mistral,
so I tried
mistral:5432:mydb:myuser:xxxxxx
And this did not work either
so at last I tried
localhost:5432:mydb:myuser:xxxxxx
And this worked. I also noticed that PGadmin also displayed my machine
as server 8.3 (localhost:5432).
Maybe this can be fixed in the future, that an ip-address or name of
machine is accepted too ?
Keep up the good work,

The first thing that comes to mind is, what is you; listen_address set to?
HTH.
