Seems pretty wasteful if you want to delete a single tuple from a large result. I think if you desired to compact the result to free some memory after deleting a large fraction of the tuples in the result it could be useful to do that, otherwise just live with the unused holes in the storage area as suggested by Pavel. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
