Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archive-Number: 200112/13 X-Sequence-Number: 1194 Hi all, In the SQL Commands Reference section of the development docs, for the command "CREATE TABLE", it has the paragraph : "A table cannot have more than 1600 columns. (In practice, the effective limit is lower because of tuple-length constraints). A table cannot have the same name as a system catalog table." Is the "(In practice, the effective limit is lower because of tuple-length constraints)" still correct? Something minor, but still worth mentioning. Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there." - Indira Gandhi
