1. dbWriteTable method is found to fail in some flavours of Linux like RedHat
distributions because of SELinux. SELinux is preventing PostgreSQL to
access data from locations other than it's data folder. So one of the
possible quick solutions is to turn off SELinux temporarily while using
this method and turn on later.
## To turn off the SELinux, type the following at the command prompt
$ echo 0 > /selinux/enforce/
## To turn on the SElinux, type the following at the command prompt
$ echo 1 > /selinux/enforce/
On this Red Hat EL5 machine, selinux seems to be disabled: $ sestatus SELinux status: disabled And I verified from the sysadm here, that SELinux is not used. So, wherein lies the problem?
