Re: Index location patch for review

I agree that groups of objects in separate data storage areas are needed
and that is what I am trying to get to.  Don't you think that Postgresql
with locations/files is the same as Oracle tablespaces.  I don't think
we want to invent our own filesystem (which is what a tablespace really
is...).
