Hi All.........!
I just want to know one thing that is it possible with PGSQL that,
if I want to insert and execute a query from a external text file instead of
giving it at the pgsql prompt?
just like in Oracle the file having query is executed with a '@ filename'
statement at the sql prompt......!
plz help me and mail me @ akhilesh.davim@gmail.com, it's urgent.
thanks in advance.......................!

in psql, try simple "\i your_file.sql" to execute the commands within
this file.
