I am using PostgreSQL 8.2.3. with the default page size of
8K I created the following table: CREATE TABLE mystate( ID integer, name char(8000) ); I inserted three tuples: INSERT INTO mystate VALUES (3, 'a3'); INSERT INTO mystate VALUES (5, 'a5'); INSERT INTO mystate VALUES (6, 'a6'); And then I ran the following query: vacuum analyze
mystate; select relpages, reltuples from pg_class where
relname='mystate'; but the result was: 1
3 If I use “char(8000)” instead of
“varchar(8000)” why there is no padding and these three tuples are
inside the same page? Thanks in advance, Leticia |
