Exactly!
But I'd like to know what kind of feedback is it :-) What conclusion have been reached (I did not got it) Otherwise I would not know how to rewrite this patch. I would suggest: create a TOAST relation whenever toast.* options is set, but give a warning it this relation will not be used for data storage (i.e. there is no toastable columns in the table) But I need some confirmation, in order not to write patch in vain again :-) > > If I got it wrong I'm happy to move it to the next CF in Waiting for > Author state instead. > > Thanks, -- Do code for fun.
