Add columns

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I see that one can add a new column to an existing
table.  The documentation was not clear on how
efficient this operation would be.  

Does PostgreSQL make a copy of the entire table when
adding a new column?  Or does it simply use extra
space in the data blocks to add the new column?
