</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><em class="replaceable"><code>tablespace_option</code></em></span></dt><dd><p> A tablespace parameter to be set or reset. Currently, the only
available parameters are <code class="varname">seq_page_cost</code>,
<code class="varname">random_page_cost</code> and <code class="varname">effective_io_concurrency</code>.
Setting either value for a particular tablespace will override the
planner's usual estimate of the cost of reading pages from tables in
that tablespace, as established by the configuration parameters of the
same name (see <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-SEQ-PAGE-COST">seq_page_cost</a>,
<a class="xref" href="runtime-config-query.html#GUC-RANDOM-PAGE-COST">random_page_cost</a>,
<a class="xref" href="runtime-config-resource.html#GUC-EFFECTIVE-IO-CONCURRENCY">effective_io_concurrency</a>). This may be useful if
one tablespace is located on a disk which is faster or slower than the
remainder of the I/O subsystem.
