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

Yes, it is accurate. Even though we have TOAST, we still need a place
to put the TOAST pointers.
