Chris, help me understand this will you? On my production system I have a few very large tables I want to move into their own tablespace so I can but them a a very large disk, and a couple frequently updated tables I would like to move into their own tablespace so i can put them on their own (small, raid oriented) disk. I need to do all this from a physical side of things for performance and administration in production, but when I create test databases for developers/testing, I don't want to have to recreate the same physical layout on every system.... it sounds like you are saying that is the case... or maybe I am misreading you? -- Robert Treat Build A Better Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
