Hello,

I'm building a database that I would eventually like to store on a read only
medium, such as a CD rom. It would then be accessed for consulting only via a
Java program.

However, from what I understood, PostgreSql needs to write to the database
directory when SELECTing from tables. Is there a simple way to force such write
accesses to a temporary directory ?
