 No.  Why do you need any?

IIRC there were some ways to tweak when TOAST gets used, when it goes
out to toastfile and when it uses compressed/non-compressed storage.

I hope this is documented someplace, no ?

I think I saw some docs in the 

/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.2.1/src/backend/access/heap/tuptoaster.c

file on my box.  :-)

Actually it is pretty well commented, so I'm not just being a smart ass 
here.

[HACKERS] TOAST docs

2002-09-10 Thread Alvaro Herrera 

Hackers,

Is there some documentation on TOAST?  In the SGML docs there isn't even
a description of it, and in the release notes I cannot find anything but
very light mentions.  I've seen descriptions scattered around the web
while Googling, but they are very light and don't seem official.

Any pointers will be appreciated,
