I don't really want to do that. That would require it to open every file even if it doesn't need to read the data in the files. I think in most cases that would just slow it down for no real benefit. If you've specified -s, you have to be OK with getting a less complete check for problems. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
