The XLog entry can be smaller, AFAICT (we need to store the whole new tuple in a heap_update, right?). If that's not a worthy goal I'll gladly rewrite this piece of code. Ah, there's another reason, and it's that I'm rewriting the tuple in place, not calling heap_update. I'm not sure if I can reuse log_heap_update for this purpose -- I'll take a look. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
