My understanding that the current release of Postgres does not allow the
DBA to pre-allocated space for the data files or tablespace in advance
(as Oracle or SQL Server does). Am I correct on that ? If that's still
the case, is this item on the TODO list or the white board?
Pre-allocating space will prevent extending the datafile during loading
massive data (batch processing) and would improve the overall batch
write performance.

Thanks in advance.
