Again. Unless I miss something that was solved in www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20130615102028.gk19...@alap2.anarazel.de Personally I think we should add lz4 and maybe on strongly compressing algorithm and be done with it. Runtime extensibility will make this much more complicated, and I doubt it's worth the complexity. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
