I re-compiled the latest 9.0.1 source rpm on CentOS 5 x64 setting
--with-blocksize=32 but when I tested it I still get the error "Error: tables
can have at most 1600 columns"
pg_controldata verifies the block size is
"Database block size: 32768"
I also tried to increate the WAL block size to see if that had any effect but
it does not. So is what I have read wrong? Is there are hard limit of 1600 that
you cannot get around?
