forcing compression of text field

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a table of log messages.  They are mostly in the 100-200
character length, which apparently isn't large enough for PG to want
to compress it (length == octet_length).  I really need to save disk
space.  I can store it as a bytea and compress it manually (zlib level
1 compression gives about 50% savings), but is there a way to force
pg's own compression before I resort to this?
