In other SQL engines that I've used, it is recommended that the columns that are used in various indexes be placed at the beginning of a row since at some point (depending on the engine and/or pagesize) wide rows could end up on other pages. From a performance standpoint on large tables this makes a big difference. Is the same true with Postgres. Should I try and make sure that my indexes fit in the first 8192 bytes?
