No, there's a difference in terms of the priority for pushing this column out to toast storage, versus pushing other columns of the row out to toast. Normally we push the widest (remaining) column out, and repeat, until the tuple is small enough. But MAIN columns stay in, until there are no EXTENDED columns left. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: 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
