Hello,

last week someone raised in a german webforum the question why 
"default_tablespace" is not used for "CREATE DATABASE". After a brief 
discussion on irc (thanks RhodiumToad) I added a note to the 
documentation mentioning this point.

Patch attached.


Bye

Personally I'd have said the description of default_tablespace was
clear enough about this already, but I added the following somewhat
revised text.

       <para>
        This variable is also not used when creating databases.
        By default, a new database inherits its tablespace setting from
        the template database it is copied from.
       </para>
