Before the details of tablespace implementation,

1) How to change(extend) the syntax of CREATE TABLE
    We only add table(data)space name with some
    keyword ? i.e Do we consider tablespace as an
   abstraction ? 

To confirm our mutual understanding.

2) Is tablespace defined per PostgreSQL's database ?
3) Is default tablespace defined per database/user or 
    for all ?

AFAIK in Oracle,2) global, 3) per user.
