Hi everyone,

I'm just following up on the patch created here by Tom to aid with
repeated de-TOASTing attempts:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-06/msg01096.php

Given the performance report from Jeff
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-08/msg01178.php), is
there still scope for getting something like this in 8.4 - or this patch
still far shy of anything ready for a commit fest? I have a feeling that
working on this is something currently beyond my own capability :(

ATB,

Mark.

I'm afraid nothing's likely to get done about that for 8.4 ... the
existing patch doesn't seem satisfactory enough to apply, and we're
running out of time to do anything more extensive.
