Tablespace Management¶
Scenarios¶
RDS provides the PostgreSQL tablespace management solution based on user root.
Creating a Tablespace¶
Connect to the database as user root and create a tablespace.
# psql --host=<RDS_ADDRESS> --port=<DB_PORT> --dbname=<DB_NAME> --username=root -c "select control_tablespace ('create', '<TABLESPACE_NAME>');"
Table 1 Parameter description¶ Parameter
Description
RDS_ADDRESS
Indicates the IP address of the RDS DB instance.
DB_PORT
Indicates the port of the RDS DB instance.
DB_NAME
Indicates the database name.
TABLESPACE_NAME
Indicates the tablespace name.
Enter the password of user root when prompted.
Log in to the my_db database and create the tbspc1 tablespace. Example:
# psql --host=192.168.6.141 --port=5432 --dbname=my_db --username=root -c "select control_tablespace('create', 'tbspc1');"
Password for user root: control_tablespace ------------------------------ create tablespace tbspc1 successfully. (1 row)
If the creation fails, view error logs of the DB instance.
Note
To ensure performance, a maximum of 20 tablespaces can be created.
Deleting a Tablespace¶
Connect to a database as user root and delete a tablespace.
# psql --host=<RDS_ADDRESS> --port=<DB_PORT> --username=root --dbname=<DB_NAME> -c "select control_tablespace('drop', '<TABLESPACE _NAME>');"
Table 2 Parameter description¶ Parameter

RDS_ADDRESS
Indicates the IP address of the RDS DB instance.
DB_PORT
Indicates the port of the RDS DB instance.
DB_NAME

Password for user root: control_tablespace ---------------------------- drop tablespace tbspc1 successfully. (1 row)
Before deleting the tablespace, ensure that it is empty. If the deletion fails, view error logs of the DB instance.
