Re: Two questions.

Thank you Bruce.

Really, what I would want to know is how PostgreSQL assigns a physical name
to files what represent the database objects.

I noticed that if I lose a file of the database, the pg_restore program does
not recover it, giving an error because the associated table exists on the
database. On the other hand I can't drop the table because an error occurs:
the file or directory does not exist.

How I can to solve this problem ?

Regards,
Fabio Bon
