Yeah, it is odd. I did it that way because the output files need to exist after the utility is run, and I worried that putting them in the current directory might cause them to be accidentally deleted or overlooked. However, I might have been too conservative. How do tools that generate multiple output files usually handle this situation? Do they output in to a subdirectory in $HOME, or in a subdirectory of the current directory, or just create multiple files without a subdirectory? -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + None of us is going to be here forever. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
