[SQL] handling of database size exceeding physical disk space

2001-02-20 Thread Rini Dutta
Hi, Does anyone know how postgres/ postmaster handles the situation where the physical hard disk space is full ? Does it crash / corrupt the database, or does it cleanly exit with appopriate message so that relevant tables can be pruned (by the user) to free up disk space and get it working again
