I didn't review your patch in details but I noticed 2 things that should be
improved:
1. The database query is wrong because it is considering that all databases are
in the default tablespace. If you create a database in a different tablespace
you will notice the mistake.
2. I suggest that you change one of the examples (maybe the last one) to
illustrate this feature.
Since you are in this area, you could create a separate patch for show the
tablespace location (-s option). Use pg_tablespace_location function.
Register your patch for the next commitfest so we don't lose track of it. [1]
