See contrib/oid2name, or read the docs at http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/storage.html to learn how to figure out which file is the index. (In pre-8.0 PG, ignore what those docs say about tablespaces, but the rest of the info goes back a ways.) The short answer is you need the database's OID from pg_database, and the index's relfilenode from pg_class. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
