All I have is my desktop Windows pc. I work on the database using EMS SQL Manager for PostgreSQL.
There I can run whatever statement I want, but it's not psql.
What do you exactly mean with "run psql locally"? Should I be able to run some psql.exe
from my windows cmd environment. Or should I start something else first?
