(I'm not sure is a clustered index can be a composite, but the docs or someone else here will let you know :-) Note that any inserts (or updates on the attr with the clustered index) will cause the ordering to be broken, in which case you'll need to re-cluster.

[GENERAL] seeking: advice on reordering table
I've drastically altered a few tables in a major schema change. because of this, some columns that i'd really like to be 'leftmost' are rightmost. can anyone suggest a good way to reorder the table ? everything that i can think of involves creating a new table which means I'd have to redo all the constraints . // Jonathan Vanasco | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | SyndiClick.com | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | FindMeOn.com - The cure for Multiple Web Personality Disorder | Web Identity Management and 3D Social Networking | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | RoadSound.com - Tools For Bands, Stuff For Fans | Collaborative Online Management And Syndication Tools | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
