12    To alter the owner, you must also be able to <code class="literal">SET ROLE</code>
13    to the new owning role.

16       The name of an existing tablespace.

18       The new name of the tablespace.  The new name cannot
19       begin with <code class="literal">pg_</code>, as such names
20       are reserved for system tablespaces.

24       A tablespace parameter to be set or reset.  Currently, the only
25       available parameters are <code class="varname">seq_page_cost</code>,
26       <code class="varname">random_page_cost</code>, <code class="varname">effective_io_concurrency</code>
27       and <code class="varname">maintenance_io_concurrency</code>.
28       Setting these values for a particular tablespace will override the
29       planner's usual estimate of the cost of reading pages from tables in
30       that tablespace, and how many concurrent I/Os are issued, as established
31       by the configuration parameters of the
32       same name (see <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-SEQ-PAGE-COST">seq_page_cost</a>,
33       <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-RANDOM-PAGE-COST">random_page_cost</a>,
34       <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-resource.html#GUC-EFFECTIVE-IO-CONCURRENCY">effective_io_concurrency</a>,
35       <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-resource.html#GUC-MAINTENANCE-IO-CONCURRENCY">maintenance_io_concurrency</a>).  This may be useful if
36       one tablespace is located on a disk which is faster or slower than the
37       remainder of the I/O subsystem.
