I agree, but unless you're using normalized keys, then I don't see that you get much useful leeway from using fake or truncated TID values. Presumably the comparison logic will be based on comparing an ItemPointerData field, which is impractical to truncate. -- Peter Geoghegan -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
