NAME

6       CREATE_TABLESPACE - define a new tablespace
7

SYNOPSIS

9       CREATE TABLESPACE tablespace_name [ OWNER user_name ] LOCATION 'directory'
10

DESCRIPTION

12       CREATE TABLESPACE registers a new cluster-wide tablespace. The
13       tablespace name must be distinct from the name of any existing
14       tablespace in the database cluster.
15
16       A tablespace allows superusers to define an alternative location on the
17       file system where the data files containing database objects (such as
18       tables and indexes) can reside.
19
20       A user with appropriate privileges can pass tablespace_name to CREATE
21       DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX or ADD CONSTRAINT to have the data
22       files for these objects stored within the specified tablespace.
23

PARAMETERS

25       tablespace_name
26           The name of a tablespace to be created. The name cannot begin with
27           pg_, as such names are reserved for system tablespaces.
28
29       user_name
30           The name of the user who will own the tablespace. If omitted,
31           defaults to the user executing the command. Only superusers can
32           create tablespaces, but they can assign ownership of tablespaces to
33           non-superusers.
34
35       directory
36           The directory that will be used for the tablespace. The directory
37           should be empty and must be owned by the PostgreSQL system user.
38           The directory must be specified by an absolute path name.
39

NOTES

41       Tablespaces are only supported on systems that support symbolic links.
42
43       CREATE TABLESPACE cannot be executed inside a transaction block.
