I followed one PostgreSQL tutorial step by step. One session to use PSQL to
execute sql files to create a new database in PostgreSQL.

   1.  copy  paste the sql file within "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12"
   directory.
   2.  execute the following code  \i  C:\\Program
   Files\\PostgreSQL\\12\\demo-big-en-20170815.sql

Failed
The message shows  C:: Permission denied
then tried  \ir  "C:\\Program
Files\\PostgreSQL\\12\\demo-big-en-20170815.sql"
Failed
The message shows unrecognized win32 error code: 123"C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/12/createdatabasesupertest.sql: Invalid argument

SQL file probably was wrong. SO I tried to create a simple sql file (create
a new database). Then  I follow the above mentioned step to  execute the
file on windows PSQL.  But  it failed the same way just like the above
mentioned.

So basically my PSQL can not run script files.  What should i do?
