How can i determine which directory contains the database files? there are a few
databases. I
though of doing that, but didnt know how to tell which directory belongs with which
database.
thanks

Nope, PG doesn't record that anywhere.
You could get an upper bound by looking for the oldest file mod time in
the database's files. This isn't completely reliable, but unless you're
in the habit of changing system catalogs as obscure as pg_am, it'd
probably be good enough.
