Today I got to have a strong issue while craeting table in a database.
pdc_uima=# create table clause2_naxal as select * from clause2 c ,page_naxal_v3 p where c.source_id = p.crawled_page_id; ERROR: could not extend relation pg_tblspc/17208/17216/23098672: No space left on device HINT: Check free disk space. pdc_uima=# drop table clause2_naxal; ERROR: table "clause2_naxal" does not exist
I thougt that that the hard disk becomes full in which the tablespace is created for pdc_uima database.
So, I attach a new hard disk(300 Gb ) and create a new tablespace in it .
And after, issue the below command :
ALTER DATABASE pdc_uima SET TABLESPACE ts_pdc_uima1;
It takes so much time as database size is near about 40 GB.
It seems it moves the whole database to new place. I think this is not good for future. Is there is any way to have new data in new tablespace and remain old as it is.
