Excerpts from Richard Huxton's message of mié sep 01 16:39:55 -0400 2010: > OK - so not fillfactor and not some unicode-related padding.

It will waste 7 bytes on 8-byte MAXALIGN machine but only 3 on a 4-byte MAXALIGN machine. Of course, this is a corner case. Devrim didn't specify the platform on each server AFAICS. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
