Hi everyone,

I've seen my pg_toast tables are becoming bigger and bigger. After =
googling I would like to modify my max_fsm_pages parameter to prevent =
that kind of problem. So I'm wondering if changing this parameter is =
enough and after that how can I reduce the size of these tables? By =
doing a full vacuum?

Thanks in advance,

Julien
