I could be wrong, but I think 'namespace' is an existing concept in PG that is a way of organizing objects into logical groups. As I recall, the group working on it decided to call it a 'directory' rather than a 'tablespace', because of concerns that the latter word might be proprietary to Oracle. I've lost touch with the rest of the members in that group, though, since the computer I was using for PG development purposes got zapped by lightning in August. -- Mike Nolan ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
