Thank you very much.  Your article was precisely what
I was looking for.  It pointed out to me that I need this
query
select relfilenode,relname from pg_class where relname !~ '^pg';

Re: [GENERAL] disk usage advice needed

2001-05-02 Thread Bruce Momjian

 Hello
 
 My data directory is like (pg 7.1 linux 2.4.4)
 ---
 $ ls
 PG_VERSION  base/  global/  pg_hba.conf  pg_ident.conf  pg_xlog/  postgresql.conf  
postmaster.opts
 
 
 With 7.0.3 I remember?? that there are files named according to table
 names.  With 7.1 I don't know which disk file is associated with
 which table.  What I would like to do is spread the files between
 two ide disks in order to gain some performance.  I heard
 somewhere that I can symlink some of the files to a different
 disk to gain some speed and I was wondering of which of those
 files are my tables.   What advise would you give if I
 can split pg data between two disks.
 
 I think all of the data is in base/ directory and it looks
 like this 
 
   1/  18719/  18836/  573216/
 
 I have two currently two big tables that are
 constantly (1-5 times per second the whole day)
 being accessed and always simultaneously and 
 I wish these two tables to live on two separately.

I just wrote two articles, one on performance and the other on writing
PostgreSQL applications.  You can get them at:
