Hi, I found no description of the way the records of a table are physically stored in files with PostgreSQL. I said "block structure" in my subject but actually is there any such thing as a block ? (I read the pages http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/storage.html and saw things regarding files and "pages" that are "usually 8k"-big etc. but saw no further info about "blocks" - they speak of "items" here: what is it ?) Thanks. Spendius
