> SET_VARSIZE Yes; you should always use VARSIZE() to fetch the length and SET_VARSIZE() to set it. If you need your code to still work with pre-8.3 releases, you can make yourself a compatibility macro like this: #ifndef SET_VARSIZE #define SET_VARSIZE(v,l) (VARATT_SIZEP(v) = (l)) #endif Also note that detoasting might be needed in more places than it was in 7.4; if you were cutting corners on a toastable type, you'll have to check your code carefully.
