Hello,
I am a new user of PostgreSQL. I recently installed it on windows 2000 using cygwin.
I have been trying out simple things. However I am facing a problem. If I type a command wrong i.e while inserting a char type if I omit opening or closing quote('), then the screen gets stuck with mydb'# and no matter what I type later it never comes out of that prompt. Can anyone suggest what I should do to decently quit (off course I can close the window which is what I am doing now), and continue with postgres? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
oh I figured out my problem. May be this will help someone else who have been struggling with such simple problems.
Type one more single quote ' and then it will give u a prompt like mydb-#. Then type a ";" and it will come out giving an error message. Simple isn't it? but took some time to figure out.

thanks
