Hello, Pgsql-bugs.
According to the Moving tablespaces thread started by Bruce
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-docs/2011-12/msg3.php
pg_tablespace.spclocation column is removed in the 9.2beta. However
this breaks backward compatibility for a bunch of products, e.g.
pgAdmin, phpPgAdmin, PgMDD etc.
I'm not sure this is the best choice. Because each application with
tablespace support will need additional check now to determine what
way to use for obtaining tablespace location:
pg_get_tablespace_location(oid) or tablespace.spclocation
I'm aware of problems caused by this hard coded column. My proposal is
to convert pg_tablespace to system view may be?
GL I don't see why it causes you so much trouble.
Not so much. However.
GL You should already have
GL many locations in your code where you need to check the version to be
GL compatible with the latest major releases.
This is holy true.
GL I know pgAdmin does. So I
GL guess that one more is not a big deal.
GL And this change in PostgreSQL helps a lot DBAs who want to move
GL tablespaces (not really common work AFAIK, I agree).
I know. I just followed the advice of Josh Berkus and added this as a
bug.
