The difficulty with this is having to be 100% confident that noplace in the system tries to dereference a TID without checking that the line number (offset) is within range. At one time that was demonstrably not so. I think we've cleaned up most if not all such places, but I wouldn't want to swear to it. I'm not convinced it's worth taking any risk for. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
