Hi,

I have created two database named 'testdb' and 'csalgorithm'. How do I
find these databases? I was expecting the databases to be subdirectories
under the database directory (e.g. /var/lib/postresql/7.4/main/testdb
and /var/lib/postgresql/7.4/main/csalgorithm).
First run these commands:
SELECT oid,datname FROM pg_database;
This will prompt you the oid and the corresponding database name. Say the
oid for the csalgorithm is 41030. Now cd to
/var/lib/postgresql/7.4/main/base/41030
But don't expect to see ascii database format there. :)
