But where in the documentation did you see anything saying that they

Hmm, how about as a comment near by the PGoidValue function ?

Using the CTID, which locates the physical tuple as (block,num). When
you update a tuple, or vacuum moves it its CTID will change, so it's
not terribly useful from a user's point of view.


Hmm, so a data row update also update the CTID in all indexes, too. I see what you mean !

Hope this helps,


It did, thanks.
