If I understand correctly this still leaves open the possibility of implementing in the future "quick pruning" as we've been speculating about. We could represent that with a line pointer which is LP_DEAD but still has a length and offset. I'm not sure we need to do it now but I'll be glad if we aren't foreclosing the possibility. These kinds of rethinks are typical of the tension between someone writing a patch to submit for review, where they often want to keep the lines of code changed to a minimum to avoid conflicts and to avoid giving reviewers extra code to read which, and normal code maintenance. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
