Not really. If I want to store data in a efficient way I normally have a look at the size of the data. lets say I've got text blocks of 1.5 kb. I would consider to choose an extent size of 2kb instead of 4 kb to save up space. Which would be the right consideration for postgres ? regards -andreas -- Andreas Schmitz - Phone +49 201 8501 318 Cityweb-Technik-Service-Gesellschaft mbH Friedrichstr. 12 - Fax +49 201 8501 104 45128 Essen - email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
