No, SET STORAGE PLAIN is an absolute override, if I recall the code correctly. That seems an unlikely explanation though. What I'd bet on is a very large number of non-toastable columns. A thousand or so float8's would do it for instance. But this is all speculation without seeing the table declaration. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
