Re: find table name

Hi the list,

I used to run oid2name to find the relation between database names and
.../data/base/<dir> but i'm interested also to identify relation between table
names, index names and files number as would try to decrease Wait I/O by
setting tables on one disk and indexes on another one.
The tables pg_class and pg_index do not give the symbolic name with the
"numbers".
