includes error checking and an appropriate ereport(ERROR) message.
This gets rid of rather tedious and error-prone manipulation of errno,
as well as a Windows-specific bug workaround, at more than a dozen
call sites. After an idea in a recent patch by Heikki Linnakangas.
up have the standard layout with unused space between pd_lower and pd_upper.
When this is set, XLogInsert will omit the unused space without bothering
to scan it to see if it's zero. That saves time in XLogInsert, and also
allows reversion of my earlier patch to make PageRepairFragmentation et al
explicitly re-zero freed space. Per suggestion by Heikki Linnakangas.
indexes. Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open

various places. Remove relcache's support for looking up system
catalogs by name. Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...
clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly. Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index. It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default. This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so). All per recent discussions.
specifies a new default tablespace and the template database already has
some tables in that tablespace. There isn't any way to solve this fully
without modifying the clone database's pg_class contents, so for now the
best we can do is issue a better error message.
Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory
in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink. This eliminates the open
problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts
to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace. It also makes for a
significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.

it's sure a lot more likely to be what the user wants than doing nothing.

probably should have been to begin with; this is to cover cases like
needing to recreate the per-db directory during WAL replay.
Also, fix heap_create to force pg_class.reltablespace to be zero instead
of the database's default tablespace; this makes the world safe for
CREATE DATABASE to handle all tables in the default tablespace alike,
as per previous discussion. And force pg_class.reltablespace to zero
when creating a relation without physical storage (eg, a view); this
avoids possibly having dangling references in this column after a
subsequent DROP TABLESPACE.
From an idea of Bruce, the attached patch implements the function
pg_tablespace_databases(oid) RETURNS SETOF oid
which delivers as set of database oids having objects in the selected
tablespace, enabling an admin to examine only the databases affecting
the tablespace for objects instead of scanning all of them.

per suggestion of Chris K-L. Also install admin-guide tablespace

There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.
