tablespace question ... pg vs oracle

I have someone that is asking if you can recover some tablespaces in a 
database, but leave the others online ... apparently its a feature of 
tablespaces under Oracle ... I could see it for schemas, but sounds like 
it could cause problems depeending on how you are using tablespaces ...

You can not.  The tablespace is not an independent entity.  I doubt we
would ever suppor that.  I suppose if the entire database was in a
specific schema you could recover that but you would have to adjust the
shared system tables perhaps.
