List pgsql-general
I will create several databases on PostGreSQL. All the databases have the same structure: same number of table/index.
I have two choices:
1. For each database, I create a new tablespace and create a new database in the tablespace.
2. I only create one tablespace. Create all the databases on the same tablespace.

What is the advantage and disadvantage of the two choices? For the first choice, different database locates in different physical directory on the hard drive. For the second choice, all the database locate in the same physical directory.

Another possibility is to create a new "database cluster directory" for each database. Then each database is managed by different database server instance using different connection.

Which way is better? Thanks a lot.
