Hi, I have created a btree index on a 'int4' attribute of a table. After i have inserted 1,000,000 raws in my table, i can see that my index size is 2745 Blocks (8KB each) from pg_class. That means about 21,960 KB size. I try to understand hows is this number generated, because thought that for each new entry in table, there is a new entry in index and that each entry of the index is: 4 Bytes for the int4 attribute and 40 Bytes for oid So 44 * 1,000,000 ~ 42,969 KB Can anybody inform me where I do the mistake? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
