I think its better to compress forcibly written full page writes. Meh? (stealing a famous quote). This is backward-incompatible in the fact that forcibly-written FPWs would be compressed all the time, even if FPW is set to off. The documentation of the previous patches also mentioned that images are compressed only if this parameter value is switched to compress. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
