[SQL] Running queries from scripts.

2000-07-06 Thread DalTech - Continuing Technical Education
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the syntax of running queries from a unix script.   psql -c select 'I am a dummy' -d dbname  - never seems to work.  I've tried variations on the command line, but to no success.   Does the -c option work?   Cheers, Christopher Currie _
