AFAICS, the threshold question here is whether the patch helps usefully for tables with typical numbers of columns (ie, not 800 ;-)), and doesn't hurt materially in any common scenario. If it does, I think we'd take it. I've not read the patch, so I don't know if there are minor cosmetic or correctness issues, but at bottom this seems to be a very straightforward performance tradeoff. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
