Re: Running Postgres Daemons with same data files

Dear All,

I got all your points, thanks for such a great discussion, Now the last
thing I want is how can I close the data files and flush the cache into
the data files. How can I do this in postgresql????

I will also try with RAID and other suggested way you all suggested.

regards
