Maybe I failed to explain it well enough, but I certainly do understand the problem pretty well. If you have any questions just ask and I can tell you the reasons to do what I did.

The reason why I had this problem in the first place is that I wasn't aware that dropped columns would still count towards the columns limit in PostgreSQL. It's not a complaint, it's just ignorance. There's a difference between being ignorant and not understanding the problem after it happens. I never claimed to be an expert on PostgreSQL.
