Database Administrators (DBAs) […]… Read more

[…]… Read more

PostgreSQL is a fantastic database, but if you’re storing images, video, audio files, or other large data objects, you need to “toast” them to get optimal performance. This post will look at using The Oversized-Attribute Storage Technique (TOAST) to improve performance and scalability.  PostgreSQL uses fixed-sized pages, which makes it challenging to store huge data […]… Read more
