Hi, I've got a table whose records are more less big. There's however jus one Int-column changed frequently. According to postgres' MVCC a whole record gets written, even if just one bit was changed.
I think of splitting the table now in two parts, connected via the former PK. so like: a|b|data | othercol | int -> a|b| data|othercol + a|int Will this solve my ongoing performance problem? Or is the overhead for referencial intergrity and system columns bigger than what this gives? BTW: How can I find out how many bytes a record consumes (having just fixed size data)? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: 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
