Hi Manni,

I just reviewed v13 again, and still got a couple of comments:

1. Do we need to perform some privilege check? I just did a test:
```
evantest=> \c
You are now connected to database "evantest" as user "evan".
evantest=> select pg_get_tablespace_ddl('pg_default');
pg_get_tablespace_ddl
-------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLESPACE pg_default OWNER chaol;
(1 row)
```

Where “evan” is a new user without grant any persuasion to it, but it can view the system default tablespace’s DDL. I don’t think that’s expected.

2.
```
+ optarray = DatumGetArrayTypeP(datum);
+
+ deconstruct_array_builtin(optarray, TEXTOID,
+ &optdatums, NULL, &optcount);
+
+ Assert(optcount);
+
+ /* Start WITH clause */
+ appendStringInfoString(&buf, " WITH (");
+
+ for (i = 0; i < (optcount - 1); i++) /* Skipping last option */
+ {
+ /* Add the options in WITH clause */
+ appendStringInfo(&buf, "%s, ", TextDatumGetCString(optdatums[i]));
+ }
+
+ /* Adding the last remaining option */
+ appendStringInfoString(&buf, TextDatumGetCString(optdatums[i]));
```

This block of code is a duplicate of get_reloptions() defined in ruleutils.c, and get_reloptions() performs more checks. So I think build_tablespace_ddl_string() should be defined in ruleutils.c and reuse the existing helper function.

Best regards,
