Re: Status of tablespaces

All,

This is exactly what my patch added. The ability to do the following

CREATE DATABASE foo TABLESPACE X INDEX_TABLESPACE Y TEMP_TABLESPACE Z;
CREATE SCHEMA foo TABLESPACE X INDEX_TABLESPACE Y TEMP_TABLESPACE Z; -- override the database setting
CREATE TABLE T (...) TABLESPACE X; -- override the SCHEMA setting
CREATE INDEX I (...) TABLESPACE X; -- override the SCHEMA setting

CREATE TABLESPACE A location '/XXX/YYY/ZZZ'; -- define a tablespace

If any of the TABLESPACE options are missing take from DATABASE/SCHEMA setting.

I don't remember exactly why it was rejected at the time.
