Back in the old days of 6.x, the use of alternate database locations (for
example, by defining $PGDATA2 wherever I wanted it to be located) didn't
work. This was scheduled to be fixed in 7.x. Has it?

I want to use postgres as the attribute-storing dbms for my GRASS (GIS)
projects. What I'd like to do is store attribute data in each project
directory, along with the spatial object files. I do want postgres to find
the proper data files, so I'll need to specify the proper path. But, the
question is whether or not postgres will now respond properly.

TIA,

Rich
