Hmm, I don't think so. The point of the function is to be able to know the location of a tablespace at SQL level so as we don't have any need to hardcode its location within any external tests (be it a pg_regress test or a TAP test) based on how in-place tablespace paths are built in the backend, so I think that we'd better report either a relative path from data_directory or an absolute path, but not an empty string. In any case, I'd suggest to add a regression test. What I have sent upthread would be portable enough. -- Michael
