However we're not sure which file to do this in. This earlier message in that thread should be helpful: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-11/msg01141.php > I've worked out the database/relation files are > $PGDATA/37958/111685332.* with the max * being 101. Is your table really over 100G? Anyway, if the block size is 8192 then 902292 sould be in the .6 file. If you can spare the time then you might run the dd and od commands that Tom Lane mentions in the above message and post the output. I think the command would be dd bs=8k skip=115860 count=1 if=$PGDATA/37958/111685332.6 | od -x See Tom's message for how I arrived at .6 and 115860 (and verify the math yourself). -- Michael Fuhr
