I don't think this is a good idea. Most of the time, no system columns will be present, and we'll just be scanning the Bitmapset twice rather than once. Sure, that doesn't take many extra cycles, but if the point of all this is to micro-optimize this code, that particular change is going in the wrong direction. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
