I'm having a hard time trying to create a tablespace with
Windows 2000 and PostgreSQL 8.
In general, it's the service account that has to have permissions. When
you say client/service, do you mean you want to create a tablespace on a
network drive? If so, not supported.
I guess this was the original problem. Unfortunately, the PG
documentation does not mention this (not in the Tablespace chapter
anyway), so I spent some time with "try&error" until it worked.
create a tablespace
that's local to the server, that should work fine.
It works fine, but only if the Windows user who runs the service is also
the one who _creates_ the tablespace directory. Having R/W permission is
not enough. That's bad because the service-running user account is often
one specially created for PG and never really being logged in... well,
but once you know it, there's at least a way to work it out.
Oh, and make sure all the filesystems are NTFS - tablesspaces is not
supported on any other filesystems.
Yep, I had checked this.
Thanks for your reply.
Regards,
Stefan

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
