Is it a good idea? Sure we have --- up till recently, pg_temp files just lived in the database directory.

But that's just a zeroth-order approximation to providing a tablespace facility for these things. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
