OK, that's fine, but I keep thinking that a superuser should have to
create the tablespace itself, and then tables can be assigned by users
based on the rights assigned by the dba / superuser. Is that how we're
looking at doing it, or will any user be able to create a tablespace
anywhere postgresql has write permission, or will only dbas be able to
create AND use table spaces. I'm just not sure how that's gonna be
handled, and haven't seen it addressed.
