Обсуждение: HOT TOAST?

Folks,

Does anyone know if HOT is compatible with pg_toast tables, or do TOASTed rows
simply get excluded from HOT?  I can run some tests, but if someone knows
this off the top of their heads it would save me some time.

The current TOAST code never does any updates, only inserts/deletes.
But the HOT logic should be able to reclaim deleted rows early via
pruning.

OK, so for a heavy update application we should still see a vacuum
reduction, even if most of the rows are 40k large?

Time to run some tests ...
