Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding the storage optimization done by Postgres:
1) Is a NULL value optimized for storage. If I have a timestamp (or some
such) field that I set to default NULL, will it still use up the full space
for the data type.
2) Similarly, if I have a text array, is an empty array optimized for
storage?
Thanks,
Gangadharan
