I go here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/index.html see this down the page a bit: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/storage.html which takes me here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/storage-page-layout.html And it seems to have that information in it. Again. You can look at the source, or find out experimentally by building tables and checking their size. Some of this is an inexact science because different architechtures have different alignment requirements. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
