Well, you have to put the tablespace on a mount point that's not otherwise used by Postgres, but beyond that I don't see the problem. The point here is not that it's amazingly simple or convenient to use; obviously it isn't. The point is that it's *possible* to get this sort of effect today, and so we have to ask whether it's really worth a good deal of development effort and code complexity to provide somewhat more convenient, but basically duplicate, functionality within Postgres. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
