Hi Masheed,

  



  Contrary to Oracle, a table space in PostgreSQL is a directory. And not a logical abstraction.


  Moving tables from one table space to another becomes so much easier by that.


  



  Does that help?


  



  Cheers,


  Jan

          Thank you Thiemo, yes  the version 13 is outdated. Team is planning for an upgrade. 
          
            I don't find any recommendations for splitting the single tablespace to multiple.
          
          
            So I need best practices / recommendations for Postgres.
