Is it possible to get rid of the "t_natts" fields in the tuple header? Is this field
only for "alter table add/drop" support? Then it might
possible to get rid of it and put the "t_natts" field in the page header, not the
tuple header, if it can be assured that when updating/inserting
records only a compatible (a page file with the same number of attributes) page file
is used. Especially master-detail tables would
profit from this, reducing the tuple overhead by another 9%.
Might this be possible?
