Hey all, I've developed a full-text, news article database in Postgres with Perl and the Pg module as my search front end. The only problem (that I discovered AFTER I'd done all my dev work) is that Postgres has an 8K row limit. About 3% of my articles exceed this size limit. I've tried splitting the articles into three separate rows (which are then joined with '||' when performing a query) but this is far too slow without cluster indexing. Recompiling Postgres with a larger row size limit is not an option and anyway, the decision is not mine. However, I've read that Postgres 7.1 / 7.2 will accomodate larger row sizes and was wondering if there was a ballpark ETA / release date for them. And does anybody know which version will have this feature? The reason I ask is that I might hang around waiting for these releases rather than stick with my current plan of cutting my losses and switching to DB2. Cheers.
