That'd work fine for me, but I think Bruce was arguing for paths that
included the database name. We'd end up with paths that go something
like
..../data/tablespaces/TABLESPACEOID/RELATIONOID
(plus some kind of decoration for segment and version), so you'd have
a hard time telling which files in a tablespace belong to which
database. Doesn't bother me a whole lot, personally --- if one wants
to know that one could just as well assign separate tablespaces to
different databases. They're only subdirectories anyway...
