Well less flexible, I could see combining this with partitioning to still be useful. If we could rewrite specific partitions as compressed, then there's a lot of cumulative data applications which it would benefit. Not as exciting as being able to compress the whole thing, of course. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
