It applies to the OS. The OS determines the sizes of integers, padding alignment, etc. Running 32-bit OS on an amd64 class processor is the same as running it on a x86 class processor. Other processors (such as PowerPC) may behave differently, I don't know. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
