strings?

(can you run strings on it?)  I'm sure there is a better solution,
but strings is easy :)   (strings myfile | less)
Staying in the hackish realm, you can use lsof to see what files are open;
I would guess the DB engine keeps a handle on all its files though...
so that may not help differentiate between active tables.

PS - Google was able to tell me that the number inside
/var/lib/pgsql/data/base/
is the OID (Object Identifier) of the that DB.
I'm not familiar enough with Postgres to know where to correlate that...
sorry :)
Knowing that, and that pgsql is threaded, you could do the lsof method I
suggested above,
and launch a bunch of queries to a specific DB/table to see what changes
while
the queries run (ie, do a... lsof|grep -c 16982 ... and when the number
returned is
higher, you're queryign that table... dirty hack).
