Attached is an updated ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE patch.
It uses the block by block copy mechanism proposed by Tom and handles i) ALTER TABLE <index> .... and ii) Copying of TOAST tables and the TOAST table's index.
It doesn't handle copying of system tables (pg_largeobject) and, in the interests of code reuse, the patch fiddles with the code used by CLUSTER. This isn't great but I wanted to get a patch in before 1 July since I think the feature is very important -- even for the first release.
Does this patch allow setting the tablespace of sequences as well? If so, then you will need to modify pg_dump of SERIAL sequences. Perhaps output a ALTER TABLE/SET TABLESPACE command after the CREATE TABLE definition to move the SERIAL sequence.
The same argument applies if it allows moving indexes. (Unique and Primary Keys)
