Compute the number of tuples in a block
Hi,
In ctid, there are the block num, and the tuple offset inside the block.
How can I know the maximum number of tuples in a block?
The block size would be BLCKSZ.
I am not quite sure where is the best place to find the size of the tuple in
a table.
Thanks

See MaxHeapTuplesPerPage and MaxIndexTuplesPerPage.

You might want to look at contrib/pageinspect. See also PageGetItemId
and ItemIdGetLength.
