>From the "Database Physical Storage" chapter in the 8.0 documentation: When a table or index exceeds 1Gb, it is divided into gigabyte-sized segments. The first segment's file name is the same as the filenode; subsequent segments are named filenode.1, filenode.2, etc. This arrangement avoids problems on platforms that have file size limitations. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/storage.html -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
