The ALTER USER way works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

There's just one detail I'm not happy with.:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/manage-ag-tablespaces.html

"If a database is created without specifying a tablespace for it, it uses the same tablespace as the template database
itis copied from." 

It would be really nice if the create db commands would follow the default_tablespace setting as well.

Thank you very much,

Peter Seifert
