Обсуждение: pgsql_data/base mapping

Are the numbers of the directories in the base diretory and the numbers of
the directories under that, etc. traceable to a reference somewhere in the
postgresql server using that data directory (such as the pg_database table
or such)?  If so, is there somewhere this is documented?

Thanks,

Where's my....bus?

The numbers are the same as the oids found in pg_database (as you expected). 

This question is better suited for the -general list, for future reference.

You can use /contrib/oid2name to get the database names and table names
from the oid file numbers.
