Hi，
I think this point is of no significance at all. Besides, this is a
document that has been around for over ten years. Everyone has become
accustomed to this kind of expression. This is just a case of being full
but having nothing to do with anything.

Well, if we're appealing to history ... I dug in the archives
and found that you seem to have invented the name here [1]:

May I suggest that you start with a patch to Appendix J, section 6 to
codify whatever is decided?

As the original author of the TOAST I vote for TOAST being used as the
name/acronym of the feature, but toast in all other cases like as verb.

Hi,
If I understand correctly, the summary is:
- Tom: +1 for "TOAST table", but changing all the combined forms is
maybe not worth the effort.
- DavidJ: Wants to uppercase TOAST only when it refers to 'technique';
lowercase otherwise.
- RobertT: The verbs should be lowercase (e.g. laser). Each-wa

For the record, I wouldn't write either of those things if I wanted to
be certain of being understood. Using a

It is indeed an acronym, but usages such as "toasting" are all over
our code and docs, as you see. I questio
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.
