I am using Win11, not my choice since 1998, and, not surprisingly, the= WinOS had a crash; I lost all kinds of information including PostgreSQL (<= span style=3D"font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color= :rgb(0,0,0)">postgres (PostgreSQL) 18.0), its databases, tables, data, etc., what a nightmare!
To not have this happen again, I'd like to create the databases in the = E: drive or have the tables stored in that drive, please note that I am not= talking about backing the data in the E: drive, but to actually have the d= atabases in the E: drive. Can this be done and is it practical to do this?
