Actually I don't think that's true any more, most file systems on most Unixen do not allow it. However it appears it's still the case for Solaris so it's still a good point. I'm sure it's not true for modern versions of Linux and I thought it was false for other modern OSes -- I'm surprised it's not for Solaris even. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
