Hi,

I'm running an experiment on 9.4 beta 2.

I put 275,000 identical JSON files into a table using JSONB (one per
row).  Each raw text file is 251K in size, so the total uncompressed is
69GB. The column storage is set to EXTENDED.  There are other toastable
columns in the table, but none have more than 36 bytes of data in them.

My Toast table is 66GB. I would have expected to get that much (or more)
compression just from JSONB being a binary format.

If I compress one of these JSON files outside of Postgres, it goes from
251K to 1K. So each file should theoretically fit on a single row in the
toast table. In total, the amount well under a GB when compressed
outside of PG.

Any guesses as to why there is so little compression of this data or how
I might remedy the situation?

Are you sure the column storage is EXTENDED and not EXTERNAL?


Thanks much for your help.


Larry
