I am confused about one claim in this blog post: 
https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/oracle-to-postgresql-binary-objects

All columns that come after data > 2000 bytes participate in The
Large Attribute Strorage Technique (TOAST). This storage is for the
row, not the column. Your id column comes as the last column in the
table? Whoopsie, your primary key just got shoved into blob storage
I always was under the impression that TOASTing only happens on column level, 
not on row level.
The manual does not mention anything about the whole row being TOASTed if one 
column exceeds the threshold.

Can someone clarify please?

Thomas
