eorganise the disks", assuming that the database
just has its own home. For such a sysadmin, a pile of symlinks would
be fair game for reorganisation.
Please take into consideration that symlinks might be every day work for *nix admins, but for win admins it's very uncommon. Additionally, win admins are accustomed to gui tools, and many of them will stumble if forced to use a command line. For worse, junctions are not distinguishable in explorer; only the shell's dir command knows about junctions. This obfuscation makes junctions quite a bad choice for admin purposes.
IMHO there are only two viable options:
- no tablespaces for win32, i.e. recommend *ix for bigger installations
- a different tablespace storage approach., e.g. simple desktop links (or alike) redirecting to a directory.
