PostgreSQL ships with a blank tablespace setting, which it interprets as
meaning you want to put the database table files into the default
tablespace which is stored in $PGDATA/base

When you create a new tablespace using CREATE TABLESPACE:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createtablespace.html

Then you'll find that pg_tblspc contains a symbolic link to the new
directory you've told it to use. At that point, you can then point all
new creation toward that location by setting default_tablespace, or put
individual bits of data onto there with the appropriate options to
CREATE:
