Error creating Tablespace on Windows
Hi,
I am getting this permission denied error on Windows 2008 trying to create
a tablespace.
template1=# create tablespace testtablespace location
'c:/windows/temp1/testtablespace';
ERROR: could not set permissions on directory
"c:/windows/temp1/testtablespace": Permission denied
If I use 'c:/windows/temp/testtablespace' for location, it works.
If I look at properties for c:/windows/temp and c:/windows/temp1, they look
identical (same ownership and read/write permissions).
Any thoughts on what else to check?
This is with Postgresql 9.1.9.

why are you putting database tables in the Windows directory?!? I
would instead put them somewhere like
C:\Users\postgres\AppData\Local\Temp (assuming C:\Users\postgres is
the %USERPROFILE% directory for the postgres service owner...)

I chose temp only for illustration purposes. Actually the regression test
"tablespace" fails too,
for the same reason, when run from sources (which creates a tablespace
directory under
src/test/regress)

The above query used to work for me. May be you should make sure to use the appropriate owner.
CREATE TABLESPACE workspace1 OWNER postgres LOCATION 'E:\\TempFiles\\pgsqlData';
