If you are just talking about creating an empty cluster in a new location The debian wrappers for this are described in: pg_createcluster, pg_ctlcluster, pg_dropcluster, pg_lsclusters, pg_maintenance if i remember correctly. If you want to stay with postgres builtin methods have a read at: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/creating-cluster.html > Have you a recent backup? if you really lost your data by accidentally having deleted the files a recent backup is your only chance of getting back to where you were hth martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
