When using pg_dump compression gzip is used. Unless you pipe plain
text output through some other program.

The posting style of the mailing list is to not top-post, so if you
could avoid breaking the logic
Oh, that’s good to know then. So besides ALTER COMPRESSION for future inserts
there’s not much one can do for pre-existing values
I think it makes sense to update/ add more info to the docs on this as well,
since other people in the thread expected this to work that way too.
Maybe at some point,

Unless you have a really weird PK and have trouble calculating bounds,
text strings are sortable and fine to use as ra

You could start experimenting with data samples rather than the
full contents.

I did look into VACUUM(full) for it’s PROCESS_TOAST option which makes sense,
but the thing is I already had a cron-ed VACUUM (full) which I ended up
disabling a while back; exactly because of the double-space requirement.
The DB has already a 1TB size and occupying another 600MB would require so
Yes, That COPY-delete-COPY sequence is what I ended up doing.
Unfortunately can’t use ranges as the PK its a text string.

It should be enough to VACUUM FULL the table. (but it has to be VACUUM
FULL, not a regular vacuum). Or CLUSTER.
