Support Request: Database connection from the command line

Hello all,<br /><br />This feels like I'm spamming you and if I've misread how I'm meant to request help then I'm sorry
forany inconvience.<br /><br />My problem is that I want to connect to a local database using the commandline. I've
tried'starting service' but I still can't access my database unless I go in to the pgadmin application and click on the
database(It has a little red cross next to it until I do). Is there a way of getting around this?<br /><br />Thank you
foryour time <br /><br />Stuart Gundry<br /><br />System:<br />pgAdmin III 1.8.2 (pre-complied version)<br />Windows
