We currently have types that aren't typbyval despite fitting those criteria: postgres[1606972][1]=# SELECT oid::regtype, typlen FROM pg_type WHERE typlen > 0 and typlen <= 8 and not typbyval; ┌──────────┬────────┐ │ oid │ typlen │ ├──────────┼────────┤ │ tid │ 6 │ │ macaddr │ 6 │ │ macaddr8 │ 8 │ └──────────┴────────┘ (3 rows) Greetings, Andres Freund
