And yes, toasting is fully automatic. Just insert a large text/varchar/bytea field and the database does the rest. which is why they are generally recommended over using large objects, which require specialized handling.
They are not always recommended though. The manual clearly states that bytea/text's drawback is huge memory requirement (esp. for large data/long text) and lack of chunk processing. Hopefully this will be addressed in the future.
