Hello,

In pgAdmin III, I can create a new database by right-clicking on the
"Databases" folder in the left panel then choosing "New Database". I also
can create data bases in the Terminal by using the code "createdb db1" that
will show up in pgAdmin after I click refresh.

My question is -- how do I find where on my hard drive the newly created
database ends up? I have searched the names, with no luck. Could it have
to do with the OID number (what is an "OID")? When I set up the server, I
used "localhost" and socket "5432".

system: Mac OS X 10.6.8

Thanks,
Kevin
