The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:
Hi,
Was reading
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/storage-toast.html and the
bit with "...table column can be altered with ALTER TABLE SET STORAGE..."
appeared misleading to me. You don't set storage per table you set it per
column, so "ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE" would look more
appropriate. I even checked
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-altertable.html where it
looks quite clear "ALTER [ COLUMN ] column_name SET STORAGE { PLAIN |
EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN }"...
Anyway, with all respect to pg documentation and pg in general, I think this
bit should look different.
Thank you!
