Hi List, I'm trying to create a tablespace using the following command copied from pg_dumpall, CREATE TABLESPACE test OWNER postgres LOCATION 'd:/prodb'; I receive the following message ERROR: directory "d:/proddb" is not empty a \db yields List of tablespaces Name | Owner | Location ---------------------------------------------- pg_default postgres pg_global postgres (2 rows) More background. I had a Postgres 8.3.7 database at d:/prodb at one time. It was working fine. I decided to blow 8.3.7 it away and install 8.4.1. (I'm running on windows Server 2008 and I was getting shared memory errors). After running the 8.4.1 one step installer , I used mklink /d to make links replacing pg_log, pg_clog, and pg_xlog in d:/proddb, to correspondingly named folders on c:\postgres, (worked fine on 8.3.7). I used pg_dumpall on my test system with the intent of using pgsql -f db.out as a way to load the 8.4.1 database. But, I can't get pass the first step in the restore - namely the CREATE TABLESPACE command above. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
