I won't repeat Bruce's reply to you, but as an FYI, the reason Bruce suggested pg_dbfile_size over the nicer pg_file_size is that our instrumentation patch includes that particular function, which does accept a filename (provided it's under $PGDATA or the log directory). Dbfile was meant to indicate it's a database related file, rather than some arbitrary filename. /D ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
