I am trying to create a new Tablespace without success. I am using PostgreSQL 8.3 and pgAdmin III v1.8.2 in a Windows XP Professional environment with the following steps:
1. I create an empty directory called c:\pgppdata using Windows Explorer.
2. I right click on Tablespaces in pgAdmin III interface and select New Tablespace
3. I give it the name e_restdelivery
4. In location I type c:\pgappdata (the directory created in step 1)
5. In owner I select postgres and click the OK button.
6. I get a message saying *** ERROR: could not set permissions on directory "c:/pgappdata": Permissiond denied ***
Note that the slash in the message is not the same I use in step 1; I have used both in the first step with the same result.
Please advice.
With respect,
Jorge Maldonado
