Hello
all,
It seems I'm trying
to solve the same problem as Richard Emberson had a while ago (thread here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2002-03/msg01199.php).
Essentially I am
storing a large number of large objects in the DB (potentially tens or hundreds
of gigs), and would like the pg_largeobject table to be stored on a separate
FS. But of course it's not just one file to symlink and then forget about,
it's a number of files that get created.
So, has anyone come
up with a way to get the files for a table created in a particular place?
I know that tablespsaces aren't done yet, but a kludge will do (or a patch come
to that - we're runing redhat's 7.2.3 RPMs, but could switch if
necessary). I had thought that if the filenames were predictable it might
be possible to precreate a bunch of zero-length files and symlink them in
advance...
Cheers
Matt
