Re: pg_dump & windows (what a mess...!)

Hi, Stephan!

No, unfortunately, not. It doesn't work at all.

But I'm not lost anymore. Our buddy Tony Reina asked me to do a few things,
among them, setting some variables like pghost and pgdata, and, now
everything is okay.

I wanna thank all of you who kindly answered my post.

I'm working hard to be as good as yourselves and can help others like me
who are initiating with Postgres. I choose a platform which is not likely
to be very popular in open-source's world, so... who knows, can I, in the
future, get there?!

Thank you, very much, again.

Hmm, do
psql -h localhost
pg_dump -h localhost
work?

I think that'll force tcp connections rather than trying for a local unix
socket.  I haven't worked with postgres under windows, but that might help
you.
