I'm thinking that there isn't any way currently of working out how big a compressed toast object is?
All existing functions decompress the object before we do anything to it, AFAICS. Am I missing something? So there's no way currently of working out how good your compression is for individual values or when you have multiple toasted columns, other than writing a new function? -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
