Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to PostgreSQL lzText

Posted by Don Baccus on
It works fine, I've been using it on the bulletin boards at http://birdnotes.net for about three weeks and we've had no problems.

I've been wanting to slide it into OpenACS 3.2.2 but have been waiting for PG 7.0 to become released for real, which happened on Monday.

If you want to do it, feel free!  With a 16KB blocksize, you get virtually unlimited bboard inserts (up to the 32KB size limit imposed by the browser for textareas).  I was going to replace all columns of both "text" and "varchar(4000)" with the lztext type, will just take a few minutes.
