Thread: Confirmation of feature of in version 7
Hello all On another mailing list unassociated with postgres, someone posted a message indicating that in version 7.x, the 8k limit for tuple size was going to be eliminated. Can any of the developers confirm this? Thank you for your time. -- Sincerely, Jazzman (a.k.a.

Man, we can't keep any secrets. :-) Until today, there was hope that we could eliminate that limit in 7.0, which goes to beta on Feb 1. However, the group has decided to not included that in 7.0 because the job is larger than anticipated. It will certainly be in 7.1. We realize many people need that functionality, and we clearly have a plan to implement it. In fact, coding has already begun on it. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
