So I still think there's some sort of pilot error involved here, but I'm running out of ideas about what. You might want to try the strace experiment I suggested to confirm that the postmaster is reading the file you think it is. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
