Yes and no :-). The files were created but all postgres data files are now idententified by numbers (oids I think), so you will not find a file or directory anywhere in your filesystem named "mydb", or "mytable". - Original Message - From: "Peter Moscatt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 9:05 AM Subject: [HACKERS] CREATEDB Where ?? > I am pretty new to PostgreSQL so please bare with me :-) > > When issuing the CREATEDB MyDb then creating some tables with CREATE > TABLE, I then go back and do a search for the file I have just created > (MyDb) but can't find the physical file. > > Does one actually exist ?? > > Pete > > > ---(end of broadcast)--- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Yes, they're named by OID (integer) in $PGDATA rather than by database name. There's a reason for this so don't complain about it. ;) -Doug -- Free Dmitry Sklyarov! http://www.freesklyarov.org/ We will return to our regularly scheduled signature shortly. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[HACKERS] CREATEDB Where ??
I am pretty new to PostgreSQL so please bare with me :-) When issuing the CREATEDB MyDb then creating some tables with CREATE TABLE, I then go back and do a search for the file I have just created (MyDb) but can't find the physical file. Does one actually exist ?? Pete ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl
