It doesn't look like PostgreSQL packs booleans. It still matters what's
next to it because of the alignment requirements of other data types,
but you still have a minimum of one byte per boolean. See:
regress=> SELECT pg_column_size( ROW('t'::boolean) );
pg_column_size
----------------
25
(1 row)
regress=> SELECT pg_column_size( ROW('t'::boolean, 't'::boolean) );
pg_column_size
----------------
26
(1 row)
regress=> SELECT pg_column_size( ROW('t'::boolean, 't'::boolean,
'f'::boolean, 't'::boolean) );
pg_column_size
----------------
28
(1 row)
