Re: [HACKERS] CREATEDB Where ??
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 ??
