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? -- Jonathan Ellis http://spyced.blogspot.com
