If we're going to do some renaming, then I suggest we do a mini-file-system structure under $PGDATA, like $PGDATA/etc $PGDATA/log $PGDATA/run (lock files etc.) $PGDATA/tmp $PGDATA/var The names of all the things under "var" could still be refined, but it's much less likely that users will confuse data with configuration or plain logs under that scheme. -- Peter Eisentraut http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
