Hi Magnus,

But is there some equivalent of pressing ctrl-C to make psql stop what
it is doing? For example, through the pipe stream I may execute a \i
command and the user wants to stop before the file is processed. What
mechanism is used to do this on win32? I thought it could be
accomplished on Unix with kill -2, hence my original question. But
maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

Thanks,
