Update TODO for short header versions:
< o Reorder physical storage order to reduce padding? < < This involves having the user-specified order of columns < be different from the physical order. SELECT * would < need to reorder the physical values to match the < user-specified ordering. < < o Store disk pages with no alignment/padding? < < This necessitates adding CPU-required padding when moving < rows from disk to memory. < < One idea is to store the header in network byte order (high bits < first), and read the high bits to determine the header length. < http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-09/msg00848.php > One idea is to create zero-or-one-byte-header versions > of varlena data types. In involves setting the high-bit and > 0-127 length in the single-byte header, or clear the high bit > and store the 7-bit ASCII value in the rest of the byte. > The small-header versions have no alignment requirements. > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-09/msg01372.php
