Thread: Alternate disks for Indexes

Alternate disks for Indexes

From
pierre@desertmoon.com
Date:

Here is a simple question. In oracle one can specify an alternate location
for indexes to live(i.e. a different disk) to help improve performance. Is
it possible to do so in Postgresql? Can I move the indexes then place a
link from the original location to an alternate disk location and have it
work?

Has anyone tried this?
