I installed the win32 binary of PostgreSQL 8.4 in C:/PostgreSQL.
Launching mintty in cygwin and calling psql, the only thing that seems
to work is the psql --help call.

$/cygdrive/c/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/psql  -d mf -U sivaram

simply waits till I hit Ctrl-C.

Is it possible at all to use the win32 databases from shell scripts
written in cygwin bash?

My overall objective is to read and write to tables in PostgreSQL from
bash scripts.

Can anyone help, please?
