Is this NOT what I have been after for many months now. I dropped the tablespace/location idea before 7.2 because
that
didn't seem to be any interest. Please see my past email's for the SQL commands and on disk directory layout I have
proposed. I have a working 7.2 system with tablespaces/locations (what ever you want to call them, I like locations
because tablespace are an Oracle thing). I would like to get this code ported into 7.4.
