Tablespaces make the scenario more complicated. Each user-defined tablespace
has a symbolic link inside the <varname>PGDATA</><filename>/pg_tblspc</>
directory, which points to the physical tablespace directory (as specified in
its <command>CREATE TABLESPACE</> command). The symbolic link is named after
directory, which points to the physical tablespace directory (i.e., the
location specified in the tablespace's <command>CREATE TABLESPACE</> command).
This symbolic link is named after
the tablespace's OID. Inside the physical tablespace directory there is
a subdirectory with a name that depends on the <productname>PostgreSQL</>
server version, such as <literal>PG_9.0_201008051</>. (The reason for using
this subdirectory is so that successive versions of the database can use
the same <command>CREATE TABLESPACE</> location value without conflicts.)
Within the version-specific subdirectory, there is
a subdirectory for each database that has elements in the tablespace, named
after the database's OID. Tables within that directory follow the filenode
naming scheme. The <literal>pg_default</> tablespace is not accessed through
after the database's OID. Tables and indexes are stored within that
directory, using the filenode naming scheme.
The <literal>pg_default</> tablespace is not accessed through
<filename>pg_tblspc</>, but corresponds to
<varname>PGDATA</><filename>/base</>. Similarly, the <literal>pg_global</>
tablespace is not accessed through <filename>pg_tblspc</>, but corresponds to
