Yes, true. Actually I do one change at a time, I'm just no posting every 
single attempt. So I tried to feed the script using console redirection 
rather than -f as you can see. That was the only change.

OK, that's easy.
Actually the batch file is not doing much more than running this psql 
command, but that's really not a problem/

OK that's nice.
Since I don't want to mess with the whole server configuration, I added 
some auto_explain settings to my script.

So for tonight, my script looks like this :

LOAD 'auto_explain';
SET auto_explain.log_min_duration = 0;
SET auto_explain.log_analyze = true;
COPY (SELECT * FROM myview) TO STDOUT \g '\\\\myserver\\myshare\\myfile.txt'

And it'll run in a separate batch.

Thanks for your help Adrian !
