In oracle you can just assign tables on a diff partition. In PostgreSQL 8.0 you'll be able to use tablespaces. For earlier versions, see the Alternative Locations section of the Managing Databases chapter in the documentation, as well as the documentation for initlocation under PostgreSQL Server Applications and CREATE DATABASE under SQL Commands. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
