PostgreSQL was installed as part of other software. The data folder is a subfolder of D:\Program Files\ Specifically: "D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin\pg_ctl.exe" runservice -w -N "pgsql-8.3" -D "D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\" For various reasons I would like the data directory to be: G:\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\" I created this directory, and changed the line in the service startup, however the service threw an error on startup. What is the correct procedure for re-positioning the data directory.
