Subject: moving tablespaces

Hello.

I'm running postgresql 8.3.1 on Solaris 10.

I made a mistake when originally setting up the
database directory (which includes tablespaces). I
have moved it to a new location, and I have setup a
symbolic link that allows the db to find the
tablespaces. What I'm wondering about is how do I make
the change pernament in the database (ie. without
using symbolic links)? 

What's the safe way to do that? 

Is moving the symbolic links from pg_tblspc area
sufficient? DB needs to be shutdown for that. Will
that update the pg_tablespace table within the
database automatically?

Thanks, 

Greg
