Hi, During some recent reviews, I came across some comments mentioning "toast" ...
TOAST is a PostgreSQL acronym for "The Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique" [1]. But, toast is just toast [2]. ~ AFAIK it is usual practice to uppercase acronyms to distinguish them from ordinary words, but PostgreSQL currently has a scattered mixture of "TOAST" versus "toast". Usage seems about 50:50. Now that I have seen the problem I can't unsee it, and it is everywhere, so here is a patch to address all the lowercase toast in the documentation. Note, for the unusual cases I have used the same wording as per the original TOAST page [1], so: - "toasted" becomes "TOASTed". - "toastable" becomes "TOAST-able" - "untoasted" becomes "un-TOASTed" - "detoasted" is unchanged (and so is "detoast") ~~~ There are many more "toast" examples found in the source code comments, but I'll first wait to see if this patch is accepted before looking to address those. ====== [1] TOAST -- https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/storage-toast.html [2] toast -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_(food) Kind Regards, Peter Smith.
