Seems that way to me too. A table that has columns with potentially large entries will have an associated <firstterm>TOAST</firstterm> table, which is used for out-of-line storage of -field values that are too large to keep in the table rows proper. +field values that are too large to keep in the table rows properly. I think "in the table rows proper" means something like "in the table rows themselves", although a native speaker can clarify it better. A bit of Internet searching tells that "proper" used like this is a "post-positive adjective" https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/354077/use-of-proper-as-a-postpositive-adjective Thanks, Amit
