How to execute postgres' sql queries from batch file?

Question

I need to execute SQL from batch file. I am executing following to connect to Postgres and select data from table

C:/pgsql/bin/psql -h %DB_HOST% -p 5432 -U %DB_         


        

Answer 1

You cannot put the query on separate line, batch interpreter will assume it's another command instead of a query for psql. I believe you will need to quote it as well.
