Folks, As the things stored in databases grow, we're going to start needing to think about database objects that 4 bytes of size can't describe. People are already storing video in lo and bytea fields. To date, the sizes of media files have never trended downward.
What would need to happen for the next jump up from where varlena is now, to 8 bytes? Would we want to use the bit-stuffing model that the current varvarlena uses?
