But still, you _can_ shoot yourself in the foot by using them - that's why it's still good to know why some people oppose them, even if you don't share their point of view. But of course, "rm -r $(PGDATA)" is a more efficient way to shoot yourself in the foot, and will probably harm more then using null ;-) greetings, Florian Pflug ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
