Good! that's a starting point!
A tablespace does not belong to a specific database, so it could be that
these objects belong to another database that also uses this tablespace.
Try to look for objects that depend on the tablespace in other databases.
I also forgot pg_shdepend which contains relationships to shared objects
such as roles - look there too.
Can you find tables or other objects with OID 100738, 102333 etc. in this
or other databases?
