There's just one detail I'm not happy with.: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/manage-ag-tablespaces.html "If a database is created without specifying a tablespace for it, it uses the same tablespace as the template database it is copied from." It would be really nice if the create db commands would follow the default_tablespace setting as well.
