Re: Status of tablespaces

Well, what I envision is only a cleaner reimplementation of the
existing LOCATION facility: the DBA will be able to designate certain
directories as tablespaces and then assign individual tables, indexes,
etc to particular tablespaces.  Presumably, the DBA places each
tablespace directory on a different disk (otherwise there's not much
point in the exercise), and then the arrangement lets him control what
lives where.

We have no intention of changing over to Oracle-style disk space
management, if that's what you were asking.
