I have now pushed this to 9.5, 9.6 and master. It could be backpatched to 9.4 with ease (just a small change in heap_form_tuple); anything further back would require much more effort.
I used a 32-bit limit using sizeof(int32). I tested and all the mentioned cases seem to work sanely; if you can spare some more time to test what was committed, I'd appreciate it. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
