Re: create batch script to import into postgres tables

[cgerard999]

Remove the quotes around echo
echo select count(*) from web_20200619; | "C:\Program 
Files\postgresql\11\bin\psql" -d *** -h *** -U ***
or, store your query into a text file and use 
psql -f query.sql

Re: create batch script to import into postgres tables

There is an alternate solution, which is to launch pgadmin GUI, connect to the 
database, tick « save password »  
Then psql won’t prompt fir password any more. 
Pay however attention to the security concern.
