Space taken by Null values

Gurus--

I have big flat table with 100 columns in it. For about 40% of its data, 90 columns would be null out of 100.And  this table keeps growing and will initial have more than 100 million rows.

​May I know, will this impact the size in  anyways as I heard nulls will take no or very little space in PostgreSQL unlike oracle. even for millions of rows with many columns in it. Is that true?


​And if that is not true, would you recommend to make this table into 2 tables with the 2nd table containing those ​40% records with only 10 required columns in it?

Please help!!


​Thanks--Learner​
