> Why sure it would. That code is quite frequently called. I take it back --- the short-circuit test already exists, but it's at the call sites rather than in tuptoaster.c. However, it looks like we can tighten the tests a bit. For instance heap_delete invokes the toaster if HeapTupleHasExtended, whereas it seems to me it'd be sufficient to check HasExternal --- we don't care about deleting compressed-in-line stuff, do we? regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
