When I try to run psql (eg. psql -U myusername -d mydb) from Cygwin, it freezes.
When I run it from the DOS console, it works fine.
Here are the versions on my system:
Windows XP Pro 2002, Service Pack 3
Cygwin: CYGWIN_NT-5.1 W-QUE-A103212 1.7.5(0.225/5/3) 2010-04-12 19:07 i686 Cygwin
PostgreSQL: 8.4.4
No version of PostgreSQL was installed under Cygwin.

Okay, many thanks Larry.
I forgot to mention I was using the MinTTY console.
It works when I use the regular Cygwin console.
I found that:

In that case, you need to run Cygwin's bash from a console (i.e. use
'cygwin.bat' as provided by 'setup.exe') and run 'psql' from there.
See the 'tty' option for the CYGWIN environment variable in the Users
Guide for more details:

This is running in a mintty console on a fairly recent (updated four
days ago) Cygwin load and the standard Windows PostgreSQL server:
sholden@lifeboy ~/Projects/PytDj/Pyteach/templates/training
$ psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U django PyTeach
Password for user django:
Welcome to psql 8.2.11 (server 8.3.5), the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
Type: \copyright for distribution terms
\h for help with SQL commands
\? for help with psql commands
\g or terminate with semicolon to execute query
\q to quit
WARNING: You are connected to a server with major version 8.3,
but your psql client is major version 8.2. Some backslash commands,
such as \d, might not work properly.
PyTeach=> select * from city;
id | ctyname
----+-------------------
2 | Washington, DC
6 | New York, NY
7 | London, England
8 | Boston, MA
9 | Chicago, IL
10 | Atlanta, GA
11 | Los Angeles, CA
12 | San Francisco, CA
(8 rows)
PyTeach=> \q
sholden@lifeboy ~/Projects/PytDj/Pyteach/templates/training
$ which psql
/usr/bin/psql
Had you considered using the Cygwin psql rather than the Windows one?
regards
Steve
