I'm trying to execute some shell commands from an Excel macro.
Write the columns from database 'nfldb', Table 'team' to a CSV file.
In the comand line prompt:
Code:
>cd C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin 
and then...
>psql -d nfldb -U nfldb -w
and then...
>\copy (SELECT * FROM team) TO 'C:\Python27\temp\teamNames.csv' With CSV

Does exactly what I want it to do, but how do I incorporate these statements into a VBA script to run inside Excel?
Thanks for any help!

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
