Yes, and tuple_len is already a slight overestimate (because it counts the line pointer array as live tuple space for skipped pages). But for the speedup it provides, I believe the result is still useful. I'll mention the potential for free-space inaccuracy in the README. -- Abhijit -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
