- You can, however, do ALTER USER <user> SET default_tablespace=<whatever>, which will
- cause default_tablespace to be set automatically upon login for that user.

- I don't know of the top of my head how we store that in the system catalogs, though.

oh, you're right. my mistake.

and it looks like it's stored in useconfig in pg_user.

select * from pg_user where usename = 'david.kerr';
usename | usesysid | usecreatedb | usesuper | usecatupd | passwd | valuntil | useconfig
------------+----------+-------------+----------+-----------+----------+----------+---------------------------
david.kerr | 16482 | f | t | t | ******** | | {default_tablespace=test}
