I finished first prototype of new page API.


This might seem obvious to you, but could you please describe the 
problem you are trying to solve with this new page API? How does it 
relate to the relation forks, that have just been committed?


Regards

Markus

Hi Markus,

It is not related to fork maps. The idea is to learn PostgreSQL process to read 
old data page structures. It is part of in-place upgrade and it was discussed on 
PGCon this year. You can see more info on


http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/In-place_upgrade
http://www.pgcon.org/2008/schedule/events/87.en.html

This is prototype of first part. Multi versions tuple processing and tuple size 
limits are next part.
