Re: Status of tablespaces

Tom,

1.On the surface the work Jim has done seem to me to be a great start.
Could this be included in a future release?

2.I know that oracle has control files that have all the tablespace to
datafiles and log files info in it.
Putting the WAL on it own or a quiet disk must be a good thing.

So may be a config file that could override the default location for
system/pg_catalog stuff and WAL.

Thanks.
Regards,
Simon
