Problem with psql on Win32
I'm trying to run psql on Windows 2000, but it prints an error message
saying:
psql: could not create socket: An address incompatible with the requested
protocol was used.
(0x0000273F)
Debugging a small application I have written myself, I have discovered that
the function 'socket' inside the database connection function fails with the
error: "The specified address family is not supported".
From the cygwin environment, psql is running fine, and I have properly
installed cygipc.
Does anyone know that problem?
Thank you,

Try "psql -h localhost" (or set PGHOST environment variable). I don't
think Unix-socket connections exist in Windows.
