Back in the old days of 6.x, the use of alternate database locations (for example, by defining $PGDATA2 wherever I wanted it to be located) didn't work. This was scheduled to be fixed in 7.x. Has it? I want to use postgres as the attribute-storing dbms for my GRASS (GIS) projects. What I'd like to do is store attribute data in each project directory, along with the spatial object files. I do want postgres to find the proper data files, so I'll need to specify the proper path. But, the question is whether or not postgres will now respond properly. TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B.
