I don't, because there are always those that are knowledgeable enough to know how to reduce space lost to padding. So it would be nice to have 2-byte enums on-disk, and resolve them based on the column's typid. But then, I'm not familiar with the patch at all so I'm not sure if it's possible. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
