Thread: initlocation on windows

initlocation on windows

From

I'm trying to use initlocation to create a database on a second hard disk
using a windows installation of postgresql. I can't find this initlocation
program anywhere. Is it possible to do on Windows? Can someone print me to a
copy of initlocation or tell me what I'm doing wrong please.

Many thanks

Conor

initlocation hasn't existed since a few years.  The current way to do
what you want is to use CREATE TABLESPACE:
