Thanks!
One follow up question. In the example given, it says there are 36
bytes for each row header and 4 bytes for each pointer to a tuple. I'm
not sure where these numbers (36 and 4) are coming from. Are they
standard for *every* table? If my table has more than just two
integers, for example, will each row header be more than 36 bytes?
Thanks in advance.
