PostgreSQL issues a user may encounter

Console commands not working

Sometimes the user may encounter issues with the commands not working in the console. Here is an example:

This can easily be resolved by opening the console in the folder which contains the Postgres console commands: - Go to the installation folder of the Postgres you want to work with (e.g. “C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\”). Be sure to go to the correct version - Open the “bin” folder - The user will note that this folder contains a long list of executables. These executables are what we want to call from the console - Open the console in this folder - The user can now run the commands they desire from here

Here is an example of the raster2pgsql command called from within the folder

Take note that this workaround will also be useful when a server has multiple versions of Postgres installed.
