Re: store different tables in different locations

Hello,
1) To store tables in different locations use different tablespaces,
witch can be stored in different locations in your hard drive. Same goes
for the databases.

2)
a) Postgresql is fine data base management system, so I see no reasons
why you should not use it.
b) I'm not sure I fully understand you on that one. You want to
estimate, that after inserting some record into your database it will
reach your maximum size? Any way I don't know how to do this...
