Chris, help me understand this will you? On my production system I have a few
very large tables I want to move into their own tablespace so I can but them
a a very large disk, and a couple frequently updated tables I would like to
move into their own tablespace so i can put them on their own (small, raid
oriented) disk. I need to do all this from a physical side of things for
performance and administration in production, but when I create test
databases for developers/testing, I don't want to have to recreate the same
physical layout on every system.... it sounds like you are saying that is the
case... or maybe I am misreading you?
