This is not going to happen. We intend to provide tablespaces in the form of a simple management scheme for table files that are scattered across multiple directories (typically on different filesystems). That doesn't make it any safer to copy files behind the database's back. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
