There'd have to be no nulls, period, to get any useful performance difference --- but yes, in theory putting fixed-length columns before variable-length ones is a win. I wouldn't bother going out to rearrange your schemas though ... at least not before you do some tests to prove that it's worthwhile. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
