In 8.1.1. Integer Types The ending sentence in the 2nd paragraph reads...
The bigint type should only be used if the integer range is insufficient, because the latter is definitely faster. Integers are bigger or smaller, the sentence could read better if phrased as follows: Use regular integers for fast efficient execution. The bigint type should only be used if the integer range is insufficient. ------------------ Regards Leslie Mr. Leslie Satenstein mailto:lsatenst...@yahoo.com mailto leslie.satenst...@itbms.biz / lesl...@itbms.biz www.itbms.biz -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list (pgsql-docs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
