Postgres is aligning columns to 4 or 8 bytes, depending on their type.
So, consecutive fixed-length columns of differing size will be padded
with empty bytes due to the alignment requirements.
Before this patch, columns where created in their definition order. Now,
they are ordered based on their size, in order to minimize the padding.
As an example, before each row uses 36 bytes (+24b header):
attname | typname | typlen
-------------+-----------+--------
id | int4 | 4
create_uid | int4 | 4
create_date | timestamp | 8
write_uid | int4 | 4 -> 4 bytes padding
write_date | timestamp | 8
active | bool | 1 -> 3 bytes padding
After each row uses 32 bytes (4 bytes saved per row):
attname | typname | typlen
-------------+-----------+--------
id | int4 | 4
create_uid | int4 | 4
write_uid | int4 | 4
active | bool | 1 -> 3 bytes padding
create_date | timestamp | 8
write_date | timestamp | 8
This saving scheme applies to all rows in all tables. We save between 4
and 8 bytes per row just on the usual create_uid, create_date,
write_uid, write_date.
