The phenomenon you are seeing occurs when there is a table with a great deal of data. Look for the table via the query: select * from pg_class where oid = 69233123; Presumably these files are for a table that contains multiple GB of data. Or they could be for an index on a very large table. If the data in the table/index is useless to you, you might consider dropping the table/index. -- let name="cbbrowne" and tld="gmail.com" in name ^ "@" ^ tld;; http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/wp.html DO IT -- it's easier to get forgiveness than permission. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
