<PARA>
|

Where an ordinary user cannot change the ownership of files to other users
|
||||
(which is correct from a security point of view), there is no easy way
|
||||
to give the postgres backend access to files in a database at a
|
||||
non-standard location without
|
||||
giving similar access to all users. The situation shown in the usage
|
||||
example makes <filename>/home/olly/private_db</filename> world-accessible.

||||
</PARA>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
If, on the other hand, the user gets the system administrator to give
|
||||
file ownership to the <literal>postgres</literal> superuser and restrict access, he will
|
||||
then be unable to delete the <filename><replaceable>directory</replaceable>/base</filename> directory.

initlocation does not create a PG_VERSION file in the specified location.
|
||||
How will PostgreSQL handle the situation if it is upgraded to an
|
||||
incompatible database version?
