+ A tablespace parameter to be set or reset. Currently, the only
+ available parameters are <varname>seq_page_cost</> and
+ <varname>random_page_cost</>. 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
+ <xref linkend="guc-seq-page-cost">,
+ <xref linkend="guc-random-page-cost">). 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.
