Of course, the chances of doing anything more than extremely-marginal kluges without breaking on-disk compatibility are pretty tiny. Given where we are at the moment, I see no appetite for forced dump-and-reloads for several years to come. So I don't foresee that anything is likely to come of such efforts in the near future. Even if somebody had a great idea that would make things smaller without any other penalty, which I'm not sure I believe either. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
