I have the following problem:

I wrote an app that parses log files and put the analyzed results into
PostgreSQL database. The problem is that sooner or later the database
grows to a size that can't be stored on the HD therefore it shall be
archived on some read-only media.
I would like to know if portgreSQL supports this kind of operation - I
mean that how can I archive a database 'correctly', I don't want to cheat
PostgreSQL. It is also in question whether I could use the archive DB from
PostgreSQL(like an active database but only for read-only operations.)

Best regards

when it all seems so stupid?
