One reason to think it needs to be explained is that it affects how you plan for VACUUM. In tables where HOT is in charge of a large part of cleanup, you need to do a lot less vacuuming than you were for 8.2. In that sense it is very much user-visible. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
