Hi,

In the postgreSQL document, there is mentioned about the Alternate Database Location.
Could I know about it, when this Alternate Database Location will be used by the backend? In case of the default database location crash, will the
backedn will look for the Alternate Database Location?

Thanks in advance,
Namrata.

This is for *you* to specify where you want a specific database stored. So -
each user could have a database stored in their home directory.

It has nothing to do with errors / error recovery.
